The Chicago Cubs opened the 2026 season with a six-game homestand at historic Wrigley Field.
Among the thousands of Cubs fans who passed through the turnstiles at the famed ballpark on Chicago’s North Side was at least one who took Wednesday’s "businessman’s special" afternoon start to heart.
Temperatures in the Windy City didn’t climb above 40 degrees Wednesday, and one fan, bundled in a coat and hat, multitasked on his cellphone and laptop, apparently working after the 2 p.m. first pitch.

The moment mirrors one from last season, when cameras caught a fan who, instead of winter gear, wore shorts and worked on his computer during an August 2025 game at Wrigley Field.
The fan even brought a computer mouse along as he intently focused on his computer while the Cubs faced the Milwaukee Brewers.
The game broadcasters, however, questioned what he was up to.
"There’s only one question: Is this guy working?" one broadcaster said. "Or maybe he’s reviewing his fantasy football draft."

The Cubs’ broadcast network crafted a tongue-in-cheek work email: "Hi, per our last email, we have a hard stop. Let’s touch base Friday before the Cubs-Guardians game. All the best, Marquee."
The Cubs celebrated a 6-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday to take two of three games in the series. Matthew Boyd struck out ten batters and picked up the win.
The Cubs were off on Thursday and resume action on Friday in Cleveland as they open a three-game series with the Guardians.
