[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1784770, member: 3916"] I've been to Wrigley field once in my lifetime and once was enough for me.....I can't remember the actual date as I think I was a youngster around 10 years old ...... I went with my grandpa , uncle and my fav cousin to an afternoon game between the cubbies and Cardinals.......Lou Brock was a Cardinal by then and hit a 2 run homer but the Cardinals lost 3-2.....I remember the wind was howling and blowing in towards home plate .....we had seats behind home plate but up far enough to be setting in the shade and even though it was hot we froze our butts off............I got a first hand chance to see what it meant to be in a car in that terrible traffic as my uncle would speed up then coast , never using the brakes but using the speed up then coast as his routine .... Later in my visit we all went down to Market Street and mom had given me a nickel and told me guard it with my life .....I never took my hand out of my pocket and still remember the whirling of racks of clothes being pushed all around me and barkers yelling at us and the other peeps harking their wares .... My eyes were wide open at that scene as little ole McLeansboro never had anything approach that way of life ....... I now remember it was the year The Zombies had their hit song " Gloria ".......
