He started his 28th year on an all-expenses-paid trip to New York City, but he wasn’t there for a holiday.

The Cubs won it 7-4 and Young did his part. In front of crowd of 43,761, he was flawless defensively, hit a ground ball that scored a run and in the ninth inning he singled, stole a base, advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt and scored on Tucker Barnhart’s double.The second callup of his major league career happened in June and Young got off to a blazing start which endeared him to the Wrigley Field faithful.

Young had just two hits in 26 at-bats in 10 games in July and was hitting .171 at mid-month when he was sent back to triple-A. He got back in the groove over the next two months and was one of the I-Cubs’ top batters, hitting .310 when Chicago recalled him as an injury replacement.
