Cubs a welcome additionto Pelicans, Myrtle Beach

As a baseball fan, what a joy to see the Pelican baseball team featured on the front page of the Sports section on April 8.

I would, however, encourage the Pelican administration to put Cubs decals on a boring looking dugout. Looking forward to a good year of baseball on the Grand Strand.
