South Bend Cubs set for next home stand with giveaways, specials, fireworks

(Jon Zimney/95.3 MNC)

The South Bend Cubs have announced their next homestand of the 2021 season. This homestand includes a doubleheader on August 21 between the Cubs and Quad Cities due to a rainout earlier this year. The first makeup game starts at 5 p.m. on Saturday.

The South Bend Cubs will again transform themselves into Los Cabritos Maldichos, “The Cursed Goats,” on Sunday, August 22. Los Cabritos Maldichos pays homage to Latino players and the Latinx community and culture by amplifying their significant contributions to our nation and national pastime. It also refers to the 71-year-long Curse of the Billy Goat the Chicago Cubs endured from 1945 to 2016.

The first 1,000 ticketed fans through the gates on Sunday will receive a Los Cabritos Maldichos mason jar to commemorate the celebration! Fans can also look forward to a Ben Zobrist bobblehead giveaway on Wednesday, August 18.
