Ian Happ Celebrates 1,000th Game with Cubs

Ian Happ celebrated his 1,000th major league game all with the Chicago Cubs during their 7-1 victory over the San Diego Padres. The crowd at Wrigley Field honored Happ with an ovation as he achieved this milestone, making him one of only three players drafted by the Cubs to reach 1,000 games with the team. Happ contributed significantly to the win, hitting a double and making a remarkable diving catch. Cubs manager Craig Counsell emphasized the rarity of such loyalty in today's baseball landscape, noting how it reflects Happ's dedication. The Cubs have now won five consecutive games, improving their record to 7-2 after a slow start to the season. Meanwhile, San Diego's loss marked their second in a row after a strong start of seven consecutive wins.
