MILWAUKEE – Cubs manager Craig Counsell’s family met for dinner Friday before the first game of the season between the Cubs and Brewers.
In Counsell’s retelling, his brother-in-law Todd kept rushing the group to get to the ballpark.
“They’re were like, ‘Why do we have to go?’” Counsell said.
Todd’s answer: “I want to see Craig get booed.”
They made it in time for the lineup announcements. And sure enough, when Counsell’s headshot appeared on the video board, the home fans of the team he’d managed for nine years didn’t hold back.
