Former UI catcher Chris Robinson will be at Wrigley Field tomorrow. His AAA Iowa Cubs will be taking on the Las Vegas 51s 1:20pm Sunday in Chicago as a special promotion.
Iowa (56-57) and Las Vegas (57-57) have almost identical won-loss records so it should be an excellent game.
Robinson made the Pacific Coast League All-Star team earlier this year so it wouldn’t be too surprising if Robbie got the call and appeared at Wrigley with the bigs sooner or later. As Illinois fans, we can only hope.
My friend Sue is going to game. Maybe we’ll get an update.
Go I-Cubs!
Update: Robinson went 1 for 3 with a run and an rbi in Sunday’s Iowa Cubs 5-4 win over Las Vegas. Box Score
