Chicago Cubs announce special guests for NLDS Game 1

Game 1 of the National League Division Series is just a few short hours away. The Chicago Cubs Twitter account announced some of the special guests/former Cubs that will partake in tonight’s game.

In typical Cubs fashion, Wayne Messmer will kick things off with the National Anthem prior to the start of the game. It’s no secret that Messmer is one of the best at what he does, but many Chicago fans will tell you that Jim Cornelison, the Blackhawks anthem singer, is better. Cornelison has sung the National Anthem at Wrigley before, but it’s only customary that Messmer kicks things off.
