Wrigley Field in Chicago, baseball's mecca, became Jared Young's field of dreams come true when the 23-year-old from Prince George, second from left, was an invited guest of the Chicago Cubs. In a ceremony before the Cubs played the Pittsburgh Pirates, Young accepted the award as the Cubs' minor league position player of the year for 2018. Standing next to Young at the far left is Jaron Madison, the Cubs' director of player development, and, at right, Matt Swarmer, selected the Cubs' minor league pitcher of the year. On the far right is Jason McLeoud, the team's senior vice-president of scouting and player development. Young split his season between the Class A South Bend Cubs of the Midwest League and Class A-Advanced Myrtle Beach Pelicans of the Carolina League, while Swarmer started the season with the Pelicans and was promoted to the double-A Tennessee Smokies.
