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

Dude. Go get season tickets.

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.

Cubs colored fireworks signify a Cubbies Win at Wrigley West.

Actually, there was a patriotic fireworks display after the game. I don't say this as an Oakland A's fan, but I'll tell you without reservation that fireworks games are better at the Oakland Colisseum.

Tonight's fireworks were over the bay and into the fog. Also, the best audio is inside the stadium while the best views are outside of it.

Usually in Oakland, people are let on the field, the speaker pump music through the stadium, and fireworks are shot overhead from the bridge that connects the stadium to the BART trains.

Long story short--come for the cubs v. giants game, leave for the train ASAP.
Raise that victory flag over Wrigley West!
CUBS WIN!!

Kerry Wood just struck out Fred Lewis despite giving up a triple to Bengie Molina. It was a close call for a slugfest of a game!

There's nothing like having the true blue fans rise up and cheer on our road warriors.
This is the right field wall that separates McCovey Cove and the stadium. Can you pick out all the blue in the stands? I nominate this place as Wrigley West--just grow soe Wrigleyville ivy on those bricks!

Fact: There is a splash hit counter toward the other end of the wall, and it only counts homers hit into the bay by SF Giants. They call them "legitimate splash hits." 

What a crock!
It was Veterans Appreciation Day at AT&T Park, hence the military band and flag bearers. It was cool to see SF legend Willie Mays get honored for his military service.
