Fan Pictures from Induction Weekend 2014

Hello Cubbie Blue! Grockcubs's daughter here to post pictures from our trip to Cooperstown for Induction Weekend 2014. This was the second induction we've come up for, the first being in 2005 for Sandberg's induction, and the town, people, and atmosphere were just as friendly and energetic as we remember them being. Overall, it was a great weekend celebrating the best to manage and to play the best game in the world.

*Pictures were a little hard to get as the trucks were driving quickly, but we did the best we could. Clicking on the pictures will enlarge them.)

Amid the scores of Sox and Braves fans, we found fellow Cub fans to sit near for the ceremony.

The face behind Grockcubs meeting the great Ernie Banks. Banks was kind as ever and is looking great for his age.

And here I am meeting one of my favorite players, Ozzie Smith. (Yes, my poor Cubs-fan father has the misfortune of having a Cardinals fan for a daughter :)

Congratulations again to the Class of 2014 on their well-deserved inductions!
