Cubs hold moment of silence for Muhammad Ali

The first baseball game to get underway on Saturday was at Wrigley Field, which gave the Chicago Cubs the first opportunity to honor Muhammad Ali.

The Cubs held a moment of silence in honor of Ali, who died Friday at age 74, before their game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Pictures of Ali waving to the crowd, as well as a famous shot from his days in the ring, were shown on Wrigley's left-field scoreboard.

Earlier Saturday, the Cubs paid tribute to Ali with a video of his appearance at Wrigley some years ago, where he helped lead the crowd in a rendition of "Take Me Out To The Ballgame."
