4. My one connection with Wrigley Field: I watched the Mets beat the Cubs in eleven innings

It was the Mets one-hundredth win of the year. They went on to win 108 games and the 1986 World Series.

This West coaster had a job eight blocks away on Clark Street, and I was able to get all the subs out and make the game by the fourth inning. Bleachers, beer, and baseball; I was in pig heaven. And happy to watch a game at the venerable Wrigley Field before they installed lights.

This Giants fan would not be unhappy if the Cubs go to the World Series.
