Boys of Zimmer - 30th Anniversary Series - 2/19/1989

While recently blogging about a random Cubs pitcher, Pat Perry, I became immersed in articles from 1988 and 1989. This is the 30th anniversary of the 1989 Cubs "Boys of Zimmer," a team that reached the postseason after a five year hiatus. This daily series will look back at Chicago Tribune articles and columns from 30 years ago, day by day.

Hope springs eternal. Spring training 1989 was about to begin, and there seemed to be less question marks for the new year than in 1988.
