It may have been cold, drizzly and overcast at Wrigley, but for thousands of Cubs fans — who cares? Baseball is back.
It’s the first normal opening day at Wrigley in three years, with no fans in the stands in 2020 and a Covid cutback last year.
It’s also a welcome relief for neighborhood bars and restaurants, filled with fans for the first time since 2019. "No [opening day never gets old]. I think I had five or six here as a Cub. Maybe more. The first one was 1967, I beat the Phillies, the team that traded me," Jenkins said.
