Day 8 - Wrigley Field

Hopped on the train again to the Loop, transferred to the L and rode up to Wrigley Field for the Chicago Cubs/Atlanta Braves game. This ball park is everything we expected it would be - a jewel of a park with history, tradition and the benefit of some remodeling about 20 years ago (we were told) that improves comfort and sight lines that Fenway, of the same period, does not have. The day couldn't have been nicer. The place was packed with enthusiastic fans and we numbered ourselves as one of those. Dusty Baker (former SF Giants manager) is having a tough year, and this game did not make his life any easier. The Cubs led for a good part of the game, but, just like the A's, they fell apart in the last 2 innings and the Braves won the game. The very vocal fans booed their team. It was a study in contrasts to the enormous enthusiasm of White Sox fans - the difference between winning and losing!!
