Chicago Cubs baseball is back!

The Northsiders played an exhibition game against the San Diego Padres on Monday afternoon. There is sadly no television for the game.

However, there are a few highlight clips from media members at the game.

The first hit by the Cubs of the Cactus League season goes to shortstop Javy Baez who smacked a single up the middle with one out in the fourth inning.

Check out the hit below, courtesy of Tony Andracki:
