Junior Lake wore the correct gray jersey on opening day (above), but the wrong one Thursday. (USA TODAY Sports …
The photo above is proof that Chicago Cubs outfielder Junior Lake does indeed have a gray road jersey with “Cubs” across the chest. He wore it on opening day. But on Thursday, as the Cubs finished their series with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Lake dug out the wrong jersey and wore it on the field.
Photographic evidence:
That’s Anthony Rizzo on the right. Like every Cub not named Junior Lake, he was wearing the correct gray “Cubs” jersey Thursday.
With all the different jerseys MLB teams wear these days, Lake is hardly the first player to put on the wrong jersey before a game. The fact that nobody else noticed in the clubhouse and told him to change is surprising, while the fact that Lake played entire first inning in the wrong jersey is another wonderful occurrence in the failtastic existence of the Cubs.
By the top of the second inning, Lake had emerged from the clubhouse in the correct jersey.
