The Professor

An MLB.com feature on the Chicago Cubs Scholars program, which offers team-sponsored college scholarships to city high school students, highlights Hendricks for his long-term support of the program. "Kyle has been part of that program for many years," said Jennifer Dedes Nowak, assistant director of community affairs and Cubs Charities. "He's been at a majority of the breakfasts, welcoming the students. He's always kind of been there at our events and greeting the kids at games."
