Cub garage sale

As a collector of Wrigley memorabilia, I decided to make the drive up from Indy on Saturday to check out the "garage sale." The weather was great and it was a great excuse to get back to Chicago (I moved to Indy six years ago.) Although there were plenty of folks at the park, I was surprised how smoothly everything seemed to move (even the line to buy bricks and bleacher pieces, which at one point stretched from the tick window to the Harry Caray statue.) Even the prices were better than I expected, $25 for a brick, $50 for a bleacher piece and $10 for a bleacher brace. I estimate I spend about a half hour in line to buy some bricks, but about a half our later, as I was leaving the park, I notice there was no line at all. (I guess I timed it wrong.)

The amazing thing was that some folks were hauling bricks out of there by the truckload (I guess they were planning to build a patio or something). Either way there were plenty of brick available and what seemed like plenty of bleacher pieces. The team ran out of bleacher braces about 10 a.m. or so.

Another nice aspect of the day is that the Cubs opned up the bleachers for fans to go up and take a look. As far as I'm concerned, they did a great job and I'm looking forward to going back for the Detroit series.

Just wondering about the thoughts of others who attended?
