A Bus Trip to Wrigley Field-- Part 9-- The Village Idiot and Friends-- Brewer Fans

Just about finished now. This is still from April 15th and was the third Cub home game. Part 8 was July 1st.

He wasn't on the bus coming on the way to Wrigley, but somewhere we inherited the village idiot. Actually, he was, but Mr. Hyde didn't make an appearance until about the third inning. Between the beer on the bus and obviously large quantities in Wrigleyville, as the bars and area around the field are called, Mr. Hyde made his appearance.

He couldn't hve been prouder of his hiney and made sure it and undiepanties could be seen for every one's enjoyment. As if that was not enough, we got the full moon often, but not as much as the poor Brewer fans around us. They were special targets along with comments.

To their credit, they ignored him. However, one man who had come with his kids did get up and ask him to stop. At first, the village idiot apologized and sat down, but then friends razzed him on and he got up and started shouting at the guy and mooning.

At that time, security came and escorted him out. About that time, two lady village idiots in their early twenties started yelling at security and they got to leave also.

A real joke.


BREWER FANS

We were surrounded by Brewer fans where we sat because of the Bob Uecker factor ("Must be in the front row.") They were certainly enjoying themselves because they led most of the game.

They were reasonably polite compared to the Cub fans. I especially liked one Brewer fan who had a giant yellow foam fist with a spot for their drink to keep it cool. Now, that's real drinking, even if it was extremely expensive.

I'm Sure I'll Finish This Eventually. --RoadDog
