"Ian Happ's three-run home run in the sixth inning not only marked his first of the 2026 season but also tied him with Andre Dawson for the 14th most homers in Chicago Cubs history, showcasing his significant contribution to the franchise."
"With just five more homers this season, Happ will match Derek Lee at 179. Achieving 25 total homers would place him in the top-10 among all Chicago Cubs in franchise history, a remarkable feat for a player with four Gold Glove awards."
Ian Happ hit his first home run of the 2026 regular season, marking his 174th career homer, tying him with Andre Dawson in Cubs history. With the potential to climb the all-time leaderboard, Happ could match or surpass several notable players this season. Projections suggest he may hit around 22 home runs, which would leave him short of entering the top-10 in franchise history. His performance is particularly impressive given his four consecutive Gold Glove awards in left field.
