Cinderella Hickman Makes Strides After a Slow Start
Jim Hickman, once a Cinderella of last season, battles illness and limited playing time this spring. Once an All Star with 32 homers and 115 RBIs, the Cubs outfielder wrestles bronchitis after a severe spring illness. He reflects on a tough career arc from early failure with the Mets to stardom with Chicago and contemplates life after baseball in Henning Tennessee where he tends a small cotton farm and hopes to stay connected to the game as a scout or coach for his four sons’ futures.
