"Wrigley was my main reason for the Chi-town trip. This stadium is the real deal. So are the fans. This team hasn’t won a world series since the early 1900s, but their fans are not fair-weathered. In fact in all of my years of baseball, this crowd is one of the rowdiest and most dedicated. You won’t find too much fanciness at this one, and a lot of that corporate hoopla is void. It’s small, with less than 40,000 packed full. The scoreboard is the manual kind, which is pretty sweet. No greater day could have been had in Chicago than mine at Wrigley. Bought great seats, ate a Chicago dog, washed it down with some cold ones and kicked back and kept score. Hoped to catch a ball to throw back on the field, a Cubs tradition, but I settled for watching the Cubs win. After the game we celebrated in some of Wrigleyville’s best dives (Cubby Bear is freakin awesome!). I want to live in Wrigleyville, man."
