How's this for a way to get out of school and not be ditching? All along the way to the field, we saw lots of high school boys walking along the sidewalks wearing identical tee shirts which said "St. Patrick's High School 25th Annual Walk to Wrigley." Cruz would be so proud of his old school.
Reading and writing and baseball. I bet no one cut "classes" today at St. Pat's.
Walked and walked and walked and finally got to our seats, which turned out to be Bob Uecker seats. Definitely not your "front row." Actually, I could almost reach over and shake hands with the good folks up on the rooftops across the street. Well, not actually.
My seat was Row 8 Seat 109 upper deck left field. The very farthest out seat was Row 9 Seat 112. I figured why almost be in the worst seat when you can actually be in the worst seat so went to No. 112 for awhile.
The famous "El" ran by every so often dropping fans off and heading to and from the Loop. We used to take it it a lot back in the 70s and 80s.
Quite a few people were out on Waveland Avenue catching balls. I don't even remember the last time we were at Wrigley, but there definitely weren't all the rooftop businesses like there is today.
Finally Back at Wrigley. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
