“My parts are showing? My goodness.”

Maybe next week.

instead of having to pee in a pole

….having just had a “opening things up” experience in our vintage abode. You are correct, sir!

Maybe before then. I’ll post pics when there’s progress being made.

I especially liked this:

A brand-new players lounge with major-league comfort levels is part of the construction in the area of the clubhouse where the weight room and cardio room once existed. The weight room will be relocated down the hall, where the old umpires locker room once stood. The umps will be sent to what was an old storage area under the first-base box seats, halfway up the visiting team’s clubhouse ramp.

The Cubs also have hired a new nutritionist to help with healthier meals during the 81 home dates. The Cubs play 50 day games in which they serve breakfast, a light lunch and postgame meal. That’s at least a third more than any other team is fed because of the number of day games.

The kitchen area in the clubhouse has been gutted and will have state-of-the-art ovens and refridgeration and seating areas.

So, already, the Ricketts are improving conditions for players in the clubhouse. In case you were thinking no money is being spent for helping out the team, here’s a concrete example of that.
