No Shave Too Close For Young Addison Russell Fan At Cubs Convention

CHICAGO (CBS) – The 31st annual Cubs Convention in Chicago is drawing waves of optimistic fans, including one Addison Russell enthusiast who turned heads.

One young man named Cullen, a huge fan of the Cubs infielder, was sporting a tribute to Russell on his scalp Friday. He drew positive reviews for his $85 haircut, which took nearly three hours to sculpt.

"A lot of people want to take pictures," his father, Scott Daily, said. "A lot of people say it's really cool."

Scott Daily says his wife is fine with the haircut. He recalls that his own father took him to the first Cubs conventions.

CBS 2's Jeremy Ross notes that the Cubs faithful were particularly optimistic this year, given the team's postseason appearance in 2015. Oddsmakers in Vegas are optimistic, too, saying the North Siders are 5-to-1 favorites to win the World Series.
