Wrigley

The Cubs are the only team to play continuously in the same city since the formation of the National League in 1876. They are the only team to still have an organist play their music. They are the only team Scott really loves...

So, the coup de grâce of the weekend was really this visit to Wrigley. We definately have to thank Brian, not only for hosting us, but for sourcing the tickets and sharing this moment with us.

It was and incredibly hot and humid the afternoon we visited Wrigley and watched the Cubs. Wrigley Field played host to only day games until 1988 because apparently the stadium owner had donated the lights to the war effort (in the 1940's), coincidentally establishing this day game tradition. The first night game was scheduled to be played on August 8, 1988 against Philly, but it was rained out after 3 1/2 innings.

I don't want to upset Scott by noting the cubs are also famous for having the longest dry spell between championships in all of the four major U.S. sports leagues. Maybe it's the goat curse? Maybe it's the breeze in the windy city?

There is definately not a lack of beauty, tradition or awe inspired by visiting this stadium. Check out the day we had! Even better...check out our seats!
