The Pirates won’t know what hit them.
When the Cubs’ Opening Day opponent rolls into Wrigleyville on April 1, there will be a buzz in the air, traffic on sidewalks and in crosswalks and — oh, baby, the best part — real, live human beings in the ballpark stands.
Note: It won’t be because the team from Pittsburgh is in town.
Wrigley Field is kind of back. Baseball on the North Side as we know it is, well, kind of back.
“I don’t know if there’s anything like it in professional sports,” manager David Ross said.
