Monday notes…
- FORMER CUBS IN YANKEES CAMP: Cody Bellinger. That’s it.
- CUBS vs. YANKEES IN SPRING TRAINING: Today’s games will be just the fifth and sixth between the Cubs and Yankees in spring training, and the first in 75 years. On April 1, 1915, when the Yankees were known as the Highlanders, the Cubs won, 7-0, at Savannah, Ga. On March 29, 1936, the Cubs won, 4-3, on Gabby Hartnett’s two-out, 12th-inning RBI single, at St. Petersburg, Fla. On March 29, 1951, the Cubs lost, 7-5, at Phoenix, where they won the next day, 5-2. The Cubs and Yankees have met in 28 regular-season games, of which the Yankees have won 19. They won all eight against the Cubs in two World Series, 1932 and 1938. (Courtesy BCB’s JohnW53)

Here is the complete MLB.com live streaming page for today.
Please visit our SB Nation Yankees site Pinstripe Alley. If you do go there to interact with Yankees fans, please
be respectful, abide by their individual site rules and serve as a good representation of Cub fans in general and BCB in particular.
As we have done in the past, we’ll have a first pitch thread at five minutes to game time and one overflow thread, 90 minutes after game time. For today, that will be 2 p.m. CT and 3:35 p.m. CT.
These threads will not post individually onto the front page; instead, you can find links to them in the box marked ”Chicago Cubs Game Threads” at the bottom of the front page. There will also be a StoryStream on the front page with all the game thread links, as well as the recap after the game is over. The pitcher photos and regular-season stats will return on Opening Day.
Discuss amongst yourselves.
