Jack White among Cubs fans who braved cold for game at Wrigley Field
Fan attendance at Wednesday afternoon’s frigid Cubs-Rangers game at Wrigley Field totaled 23,590.
Rock superstar and known baseball fanatic Jack White was one of them.
Less than one month after jet-setting to Japan to watch the Cubs play the Los Angeles Dodgers in the MLB Tokyo Series, the former White Stripes front man took in the series finale against Texas in near-freezing temperatures.

White, who is in town to play two shows at The Salt Shed, also donned the Cubs’ new baby-blue alternate jersey, which pays tribute to Chicago’s blues history.
White, a blues musician himself, expressed his excitement for the Cubs’ and Wrigley Field’s latest homage to the genre.
“But best of all was the fact that they now have a vinyl record store at Wrigley Field!” White wrote on Instagram about Landmark Records, which opened on Gallagher Way at the beginning of the month. “Selling blues records and the like, who’d have thought that would ever happen, especially in 2025?”
White is a Detroit native and Tigers fan, but he long has been spotted at Cubs games at The Friendly Confines. He went viral in 2014 for his facial expression at a game against the San Diego Padres.
White also has turned his baseball passion into business, as he owns a bat company, Warstic, with former Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler. Check out Marquee Sports Network’s 2022 feature on Warstic featuring White and Kinsler below:
