Talk about something that has been blown up the last couple years for a variety of reasons. Cancelled games. No fans in the stands. Massive midseason sell-offs.
OK, but we’re back to normal-ish? So the Chicago Cubs are now able to announce, in advance of a season, their promotional schedule for the year ahead. Ozark Day, eh? I guess be careful on April 24? Or at least bring some money to launder. Oh, and you should definitely read too much into the bobblehead slate …
Bobbleheads, #BudFridays and more!
