Jackie Robinson West went to the finals of the Little League World Series in 2014 and it was the talk of the town. Now, one of the stars of that inspiring team will enter the Cubs system.
Ed Howard hit .419 for the Caravan his junior year (senior year was cancelled because of COVID-19). He’s a tremendous ballplayer and my Mt. Carmel sources tell me he’s a terrific kid, too. Analysts are high on him
Howard grew up a White Sox fan. Tim Anderson has been a mentor for the young man, as discussed with Jim Thome here:
Ed doesn’t seem too bummed the White Sox passed on him
Love this scene of the Howard family’s joyous reaction
And the Cubs are excited to have him
Can’t wait to see him play at Wrigley someday! This gave me D Rose chills:
