Chicago Cubs’ Dansby Swanson hits a home run off Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Michael Kopech, Swanson’s second of the night, during the fourth inning of a baseball game Tuesday, July 25, 2023, in Chicago.

During the Cubs’ last pitching change, with the stands packed and pulsing with energy, shortstop Dansby Swanson turned to manager David Ross and asked if the Crosstown Classic is always like this.

It had been in all of Ross’ experiences.

“It’s the city, right? When you get two fan bases in the city, it’s spectacular to come to,” Ross said after the Cubs’ 7-3 win against the White Sox on Tuesday.
