Since 1983, Sam Bernabe and the Iowa Cubs have been inseparable. Currently the club’s president, Bernabe is in baseball bliss down on the farm.

There’s much to be jealous of Sam Bernabe’s baseball life.

As president and general manager of the Iowa Cubs of the Triple-A International League, whether during business hours at the ballpark on game day or when the club is on the road in far-off cities as Syracuse, N.Y., or Toledo, Ohio, Bernabe is at the ready.
