An afternoon at Wrigley Field

Last weekend started early for me as my Dad and I were invited to join my brother in law, Kory for an afternoon at Wrigley Field. Kory’s company had seats in one of the suites. Carlos Zambrano pitched. 24’s Tony Almeida sang at the seventh inning stretch. Even though the Cubs bullpen couldn’t hold the lead and they lost, we had a great time.

Here are some of the pictures.

What’s up with kids these days?!! - My Dad wanted to know what was up with the kid (in the picture, on his right) who was wearing his pants pretty low.

Chuck,

you know you’re one of my most favorite people in the world. Your presence at Andy 30 was incredible.

But………..

The Cubs Shirt?

This is like if I had gone to see “Schindler’s List” in the theater, and Oskar Schindler ended up carting people into the box cars to Auschwitz.

A true heartbreaker.

This may not be a cool thing to admit, but i’m a Cubs fan. How can one be both a Brewers and Cubs fan? Before lights were put up at Wrigley in the 80s, they played exclusively day games. I would run home after school to watch games on WGN. Those early 80s teams featuring Ryne Sandburg, Leon Durham, Jody Davis, Lee Smith, etc. were awesome. Watching Harry Carry call those games was so much fun. It’s how I fell in love with the game. The Brewers didn’t join the National League until 1998, so there was never a conflict. Since they started playing in the same division/league, I pull for the Brewers when they play each other. The Brewers are my team, but i’m still a Cubs fan.
