Duration: T1H3M34S
Description: Alec Mills is a starting pitcher for the Chicago Cubs. We caught up with Mills and he shared that he grew up a Cubs fan and attended his first game at Wrigley Field. He also discussed his approach to pitching and how that approach translates in major league baseball.

Favorite Quote: "Look Ma! Top of the World!" Cubs fan since I was five years old (1969): lover of B&W movies, the Oxford Comma, classic rock, and of course, baseball; annual roto-champ; partial insomniac; I detest the liberal use of the word 'albeit' by baseball writers; Nice guy, though somewhat brooding. Comment me, please and thank you.
