Cubs Spring Training Sites Through the Years

From the Feb. 22, 2015, Chicago Tribune "Preparing for battle in Indiana" byTim Bannon.

I have been writing about the Cubs and Sox both having Spring Training in French Lick, Indiana, because of wartime restrictions in my Tattooed On Your Soul: World War II Blog the last two days.  The article also had a listing of every Cub and Sox Spring tarining site.
