I’m old enough to remember when nearly every Cubs spring training game was broadcast on TV and/or radio. I’m also old enough to remember when very few of them were. The weird part is that the oasis of a heavy broadcast schedule fell between coverage deserts like the one in which we find ourselves. Cade Horton‘s first appearance? Nope. Jaxon Wiggins? Also no, though one could argue it was best we didn’t see or hear it.
Now we arrive at Friday and Edward Cabrera‘s first appearance in a Cubs uniform. Neither Marquee nor 104.
