YES! Ian Happ just hit his first home run of the season and it makes me happy for exactly three reasons: (1) I like it when the Cubs hit home runs. That’s a no-brainer. (2) I happened to have an open bet on Happ homering today. So that’s a win. And (3) Happ was held out of the lineup yesterday, but didn’t let the early day off get to him today.
Take a look at Happ’s first homer of the year (108 MPH, 428 feet).
