Cubs’ Flight Takes Detour
(Chicago, IL) — The charter plane carrying the Chicago Cubs to Los Angeles after their improbable win last night in Washington was forced to make a side-trip. A family member of one of the Cubs’ crew became ill and the plane landed in Albuquerque about six-30 this morning. Then the team and Cubs’ staff had to wait about five hours on the ground because the pilot had run out of allotted flight hours and a “relief” pilot had to be called in. They finally made to Los Angeles early this afternoon. They face the Dodgers in Game 1 of the League Championship Series Saturday night.
