Former Cub and current Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler hopped on Twitter Wednesday and had some fun at the expense of Chicagoans.
Fowler is back in St. Louis for Summer Camp and dropped this tweet about pizza:
Feels so good to be back in Saint Louis. I can taste baseball.....and the best pizza on earth....
