Kris Bryant made his return to Wrigley Field on Friday afternoon when his San Francisco Giants played against the Chicago Cubs. It was a very emotional, sad, and happy day on the north side of town for a variety of reasons.
The Cubs aren’t great anymore but they play their hearts out every game. It makes you sad when you think about what could have been if they just managed things a little bit better. They might not be World Series contenders right now but they’d be much closer with some of their old core still on the team.
