Let the games begin!
To celebrate the Cubs 149th Opening Day, I've got the Cubs all time opening day lineup. The lineup features a majority of the players from the '60's and later. That seems odd to me, considering the long history of the Cubs. In fact, of the entire lineup, I have seen all but three.
Next to the Cubs all-time opening day leader, I have the Cub who makes the start today.
Justin Steele is making his first Opening Day start
Yan Gomes is makes his second opening day start
Michael Busch makes his Cubs debut as the starting first baseman.
Nico Hoerner makes his second start at second baseman.
Dansby Swanson is making his second start as the Cubs opening day shortstop.
Third Base: Ron Santo, 13 starts
Nick Madrigal is making his first Opening Day start at third base.
Ian Happ starts in left field for the third time.
Center Field (since 1900): Andy Pafko, 7 starts
Cody Bellinger is in center for the second time.
