60 Years in the waiting!

Al,

Thanks for mentioning my Dad being at the Friday game and meeting you.  We had a great time and even got a homerun ball for him.  I think I need to get season tickets as the Cubs are 6-1 in the last seven games that I have attended. They also are won the last four games to close out the last three series. Thanks again and we will see you in July!!!

Bill

I assume he would if he could.

The waiting list is up to about 80,000.

Wow.

That’s quite a big list.

Last offseason...

... exactly four people did not renew their season tickets. Three people died and one moved out of the country.

If that keeps up, it’ll be 20,000 years till the last person currently on the list gets season tickets.
