Manager Joe Maddon won his first World Series last November, but one goal remains elusive.
That would be appearing on an episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," as a series of scheduling conflicts prevented Maddon from taping an episode.
"I couldn’t make it," said Maddon, who was asked to appear on Feb. 21 – the same day Maddon and the other Cactus League managers had a media event in Phoenix. "I don’t know how we’re going to figure this out."
The two sides originally had agreed on a date, only to see the date changed.
"Maybe (I’ll be) a picture in the wall or a phone call," Maddon quipped.
Maddon said he asks Jeff Garlin, a producer/comedian who is a big Cubs fan and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" co-star, to bring star Larry David to a game.
"It will happen," Maddon said of his appearance on the show.
