hot time in the old town

Chicago maybe known for many things - The Water Tower, the (former) Marshall Field's, the food but for me it will be the home of the long suffering Cubs. When you are staying in Wrigleyville and close enough to walk to the park you can pretty much show up at any time and get great seats. Last game I went to we came in just before the second inning, walked in and had seats just three rows up from the field, right on the first base line. We could not believe they were our seats, we must have checked the row number against our stubs about five times. Close enough to read the names on the back of the shirts, heckle the base runners and chat with the umpire between innings. Made sure to sample the fine food and local beer while we were there as well. Somewhere I think we still have the program - bough as much for the Primeco alien on the back as for the stats inside.
