Byrd Still The Word?
It’s been a long and trying season for Marlon Byrd.
In addition to dealing with the Cubs dismal record, he’s faced the huge challenge of returning from a six week stay on the DL recovering from multiply facial fractures after suffering a beanball to his left eye on May 21 in Boston.
Just watching that happened made it seem unlikely Byrd would return at all this season. True to his positive character, however, Byrd returned 39 games later to take his spot in center field.
