FORT MYERS, Fla. _ On the field, spring training ran about as smoothly as possible for Cubs manager Joe Maddon.
But off the field, Maddon was harnessed by transportation issues.
Maddon was bummed that his 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass station wagon, complete with a "great" stereo system, was saddled by air conditioning issues, forcing him to drive a rental car for the first two weeks of spring training.
The other issue, which was much more annoying to Madddon, was the problems with his recreation vehicle that he resides in Mesa.
"The Aqua-Hot (heating system) wasn't working," Maddon said. "The TV went out. The heated floors were an issue.
"That was the worst part about camp."
