Opening Day Started With A Splash For A Sports Writer Who Covers The Cubbies.

Michael Cerami has proven he is a man of his word because of that home run. Cerami is a sports writer who covers the Cubs for BleacherNation.com, and he made a promise ahead of Thursday’s Opening Day game that he would jump in Lake Michigan if the first pitch was hit for a homer, which, as we said, is exactly what happened. It didn’t take long for Cerami to honor his vow, either, as he posted his plunge into Lake Michigan shortly after Ian Happ’s homer.
