Growing up watching Cubs baseball on TV gave me a desire to go to Wrigley Field. I finally had the chance when I almost blew it. My friends and I had traveled up to see the Cubs play their rival Cardinals in Chicago. A heavy night drinking sake and some late stumbling fetching tickets almost prevented me from getting into Wrigley. However, once we got inside and eventually found some room in the bleacher seats, the magic of Wrigley came over me. I looked up in the air at one point and I saw the blue angels flying practice runs for the Chicago Air and Water Show taking place the following day. I was contemplating moving to Chicago and buying season tickets when it got into the 9th inning with a tie game. Albert Pujols, the Cardinal’s slugger, stepped up to the plate. He hit a long ball… back, back, back the Cub’s outfielder went. He caught the ball at the fence. When the Cubs went on offense, they scored a run in the bottom of the ninth to win the game. I went nuts in the bleachers with my friends. I had a smile on my face ear to ear as we celebrated with the locals in a little bar and grill in Addison.
