  • Wake Up Tri-Counties Author Al Yellon Cubs Firsts
    Who was the first Chicago Cubs player to hit a home run? How about the first to pitch a no-hitter? Too easy? How about the first Chicago Cub to get a hit during a night game at Wrigley Field? Or the first to win a Gold Glove? The first Cubs MVP winner? If you don't know the answer to these questions, fear not, author Al Yellon is here to help. He's compiled a brand new book called "Cubs Firsts" with a bar-bet winning list of the first Chicago Cubs to achieve baseball milestones, both well-known and obscure, like the first Chicago Cub to steal home plate or the first Chicago Cub to get a bunt single. Al Yellon was our guest on Wake Up Tri-Counties.
