From Yahoo! Sports:

How desperate is the city of Chicago for a semi-decent quarterback? Desperate enough to give a rookie with zero professional experience a standing ovation at a packed Wrigley Field.

Justin Fields made an appearance at Wrigley Field on Friday, and Chicago Cubs fans gave him a welcome fit for a franchise savior. 

Fields picked a good day to get out to Wrigley. Chicago reached Phase 5 of Illinois Governor JB Pritzker's COVID-19 plan Friday, meaning the park could operate at 100 percent fan capacity for the first time since 2019.

The only thing left for Fields to do now is make an appearance at a Chicago White Sox game before the month is over. While Chicago baseball fans are usually divided in their loyalty, the one thing that can bring everyone in the city together is the promise of a great Bears quarterback.

If Fields can be that, he'll get standing ovations around the city for the rest of his life.
