The Cubs may be slumping but it’s their 52-31 season and super fans that have put the boys in blue in San Diego next Tuesday.
The Cubs made All-Star history by becoming just the second team ever to have its entire infield start an All-Star Game.
Anthony Rizzo (first base), Ben Zobrist (second base), Addison Russell(shortstop) and Kris Bryant (third base) were chosen to start next Tuesday’s game in San Diego for the National League, becoming just the second foursome to accomplish that feat and first since the 1963 Cardinals.
Joe Maddon promises to watch the game with the rest of Chicago’s northside. Game time on Tuesday, 7 central on FOX.
