I love baseball. I love that people can have such good memories of going to baseball games with their friends and loved ones. Spending a sunny day at the ballpark watching your favorite team is the best! And Wrigley Field is one of my favorite places to be. I love Wrigley Field, the Ricketts notwithstanding. I don't like them, but I digress. Even listening to the game on the radio is great. Here in the Detroit area, we had the great Ernie Harwell and of course, in Chicago, there was the great Harry Caray.

GO CUBS GO!
