With this performance, Kingman drove in eight runs, thus establishing a new club record.
I loved watching Kingman bat when he was a Cub. Waveland Avenue never looked closer to a young Cubs fan.
With performances like this, I can only imagine!
He kinda looks like Clint Eastwood standing there with a ballebooooshkeee on his shoulders.
Ha! He kinda does!
