All-Star Sends Heartwarming Message to Fans After Potential Last Game
After what could have been his last game at Wrigley Field, Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ sent a message to the fans present.
As the Chicago Cubs faced off against the Miami Marlins, outfielder Ian Happ took a moment to show his appreciation for the fans. Having spent his entire MLB career with the Cubs, the 10-year veteran knew this could be his farewell game at Wrigley Field. In a heartwarming gesture, Happ threw a ball into the stands after the game, inscribing a message on it.
"Thank you for 10 incredible years, for the positivity and unwavering support!" the ball read. "Y all are the best fans in sports! Go Cubs!" Happ's decade-long tenure with the team was marked by 1,292 games played, 197 home runs, and 625 RBIs, resulting in a .784 lifetime OPS. He earned a first All-Star selection in 2022 and won a Gold Glove for four consecutive years.
While the Cubs are set to face the Boston Red Sox in the final series of the season, Happ's potential exit from the club leaves room for uncertainty regarding the postseason.
