After being drafted with the first overall pick by the Chicago Cubs in 1982 out of Thomas Jefferson High School in Brooklyn, New York, Dunston’s first Minor League stop with the organization was in the Midwest League in Davenport, Iowa. The future Cubs legend first suited up with the then ‘Quad City Cubs’ in 1983, batting .310 in 117 games.
Dunston would eventually make his MLB debut on April 9, 1985 against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Wrigley Field. In 18 Big League seasons with Chicago, San Francisco, St. Louis, Cleveland, New York (Mets), and Pittsburgh, he finished his career hitting .269 in 1814 games, with 150 home runs, and 668 RBI.
Before he retired, Dunston also had the opportunity to play in the World Series with the Giants in 2002. His highlight moment came in Game 6 of the Fall Classic that year, when he homered late in that contest to give San Francisco a dramatic lead.
The VIP Package, limited to 100 tickets, is only $85.00 per person. For more information and to purchase tickets for Dunston’s visit to Four Winds Field on May 22, visit SouthBendCubs.com, or call 574-235-9988.
