According to CSN s Chris Kamka and Cubs historian Ed Hartig, Happ (who also homered in his MLB debut Saturday in St. Louis) is the first Cubs player to homer in his first MLB home game and first MLB road game since Carmelo Martinez in 1983. A GRAND GESTURE: Last night marked Joe Maddon s 1,000th career managerial victory during his stints with the Angels (interim in 1996, 1999), the Rays (2006-14) and the Cubs (2015-present) to mark the milestone victory, Maddon s charitable foundation, the Respect 90 Foundation, will donate 1,000 meals to homeless children and families both at the Evangeline Booth Lodge in Chicago and Sallie House in St. Petersburg, Fla.
