In 2012, the Red Sox visited Wrigley Field for the second time in their history, and this game was televised by Fox Sports. A photo of the full house at Wrigley Field was sent in by a BCB reader, and it showed the first baseman wearing No. 3. The visiting team was confirmed to be the Red Sox.
This game took place on a Saturday, June 16, 2012, where the Red Sox won 4-3. Further investigation revealed that the game featured future Cub Jon Lester pitching for the Red Sox. Lester pitched well in the game, but a homerun from Luis Valbuena brought the Cubs within one run. However, they ultimately lost the game.
Despite losing, this game is another piece of Cubs history and provides an opportunity to watch Lester pitch in Wrigley Field before joining the Cubs as a free agent. The photo of Wrigley Field with a full house and Lester on first base is a reminder of this exciting moment in Cubs history.
