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."
