Rain Spoils Opportunity for Five Wizards

The Chicago Cubs were supposed to play the San Diego Padres in the final Hall of Fame Game today in New York. It would have meant a taste of the big leagues for several Fort Wayne Wizards as they enjoy their Midwest League All-Star break.

However, the rains fell and so did their opportunity. The game was canceled after a delay of more than a half hour.

Despite tremendous support from fans and enthusiasts, this year’s game was to mark an end of a tradition that dated back to 1940, when the Cubs defeated the Boston Red Sox, 10-9. Scheduling problems during recent years have resulted in the decision to end of the annual series that paired two Major League clubs in the traditional birthplace of baseball.
