The Cubs Tried to Troll the Phillies Today, But the Joke is on Them

This is the Cubs’ ticket today, and that’s Ivan DayGeezus, who was traded by the Cubs to the Phillies in 1982 for Larry Bowa and Ryne Sandberg.
DeJesus went on to play three seasons for the Phillies, hitting around .250 with a total of seven home runs, 139 RBIs and 37 stolen bases.
Sandberg went on to become a Hall of Famer.
But oh, wait, what’s that? Sandberg is our manager now and Bowa is going to be his assistant next year?* Looks like the joke’s on you, Chicagolandtownlandcitybatmanland:
That said, both teams stink, so it doesn’t even matter.
*I’m speculating.
