Exploring the Past of the Chicago Cubs: A Special Fox Sports Investigation

A Cubs game from 2012 that was televised by Fox Sports and featured a photo sent in by a BCB reader is the focus of this content. The photo shows a full house at Wrigley Field, with the first baseman wearing No. 3 and the visiting team confirmed to be the Red Sox.

The Red Sox have visited Wrigley Field before, with their first visit occurring in 2005. Further investigation revealed that the game in question took place on a Saturday, June 16, 2012, where the Red Sox won 4-3. This game is significant because it features future Cub Jon Lester pitching for the Red Sox and a homerun from Luis Valbuena that brought the Cubs within one run of victory, but ultimately resulted in their defeat.

The content highlights this game as another piece of Cubs history and offers viewers an opportunity to watch Lester pitch in Wrigley Field before he joined the Cubs as a free agent.
