The Journey

Every Major Leaguer
started somewhere.

The Knoxville Smokies are the Chicago Cubs' Double-A affiliate — the last stop before the big leagues for some of the most exciting young talent in baseball. Road to Wrigley follows their journey, week by week, game by game, callup by callup.

These players are chasing something real. Every swing, every strikeout, every bus ride — it's all part of the path to Wrigley. We're here to witness it together. — Mick Gillispie, Marquee Sports Network

When a Smokies player gets called up, it's not just a roster move — it's a community celebration. Road to Wrigley makes sure we don't miss a single moment of the journey.
