Trip to Chicago, Part 2 (Thursday night Cubs game)

On Thursday night of our Chicago trip, we went to Wrigley Stadium and saw the Cubs play the Phillies.






The area around the stadium (Wrigleyville) is filled with street vendors, shops, and restaurants. Here's Pat in front of Harry Caray's tavern...

...and me with Billy Cub! His tip bucket said, "Tip Billy. He's hot!"

We asked someone to take our photo in front of the famous Wrigley sign. After the woman took it, she gave us a sob story about how she just lost her apartment, etc, etc. Despite being panhandled, I think the picture is the best one of the trip!

The atmosphere at Wrigley is really electric and exciting. Pat compares it to an Alabama football game, and he's right! I'm not much of a baseball fan, but I had a great time. The fans really get into the game. We were there to see Aramis Ramirez hit a grand slam! Holy cow! Cubs win!!
