Chicago Cubs Legacy and Love | Chicago Cubs News

After seven unforgettable years in Chicago, this player is reflecting on his dream journey with the Cubs — from that first awe-struck visit at 20 to finally breaking the 108-year curse in 2016. He turned down bigger offers to stay, because Chicago felt like home. Remembering the unbreakable spirit of that 2016 team, the rain-delay pep talk in Cleveland, and the clubhouse vibe he brought — it wasn’t just about wins, but legacy, character, and love for the fans. Now, he’s staying put, launching a baseball academy, and open to returning to the Cubs in some role — all while thanking everyone from coaches to concession workers. This was more than a career — it was family, and he’ll never forget the Windy City. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
