This Day in History
On this day in 1916, the cathedral that would become known as Wrigley Field opened its doors and the Cubs promptly christened it with a 7-6 11-inning win over the Reds.

Interesting the last game that was played at Wrigley...
…was a 7-5 win in 11 innings.
"Pounding sand since 1982...."
Well, that beats what happened to the Yankees when they opened their new stadium.
I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.
Wrigley was opened on 4/20?
Freakin’ sweet.
How long should we give sig lines at the bottom of the comments?
Bradley watch -- out 3 games of 11
LIGHT IM UP!!!
