Spring Training is a month away and although all those Cactus League games are meaningless, I can't wait! The Chicago Cubs just won their first World Series championship since 1908 and I'm not sure about you, but I just want more baseball ASAP. I get the same feeling every year, but especially this one, considering the Cubs are poised to be great once again.
Earlier this week the Cubs announced something pretty cool for fans, who like me, can't wait for the first Spring Training game down in Mesa. For the first time ever, all 38 games will be made available for fans and it's free.
Via Cubs.com:
The schedule features 10 games televised by Cubs broadcast partners (six by CSN Chicago and four by WGN-TV), 10 on the 670 The Score Cubs Radio Network and 27 via internet radio broadcast on www.cubs.com. Fans will be able to access the Cubs Webcasts on Cubs.com and MLB.com for free by registering for a log-in account with the website.The Cubs begin their Spring Training schedule with split-squad games on Feb. 25. WGN-TV will broadcast the game against the Oakland A's that will be played at Sloan Park, home of the Cubs in Mesa.
Len Kasper and Jim Deshaies return to call all Cubs TV games. 670 The Score will air its first game the next day on Sunday, February 26 when the Cubs host the American League Champion Cleveland Indians. Pat Hughes and Ron Coomer return as the radio voices of the Chicago Cubs. CSN Chicago's first game will occur on Wednesday, March 15, when the Cubs host the Arizona Diamondbacks. Kasper will again join Mick Gillispie, radio broadcaster for Chicago's Double-A Tennessee affiliate, for most of the cubs.com internet radio broadcasts.All games will begin at 1:05 p.m. local time in Arizona. Here's the full Cubs Spring Training schedule. Can't wait! The regular-season opener is on April 2, against the St. Louis Cardinals.
