63rd & Kedzie we moved out in 73 when I was 13. Moved back to Dolton, used to go to Sox games when it was Comiskey! How about you?

81st S Marshfield, then Oak Lawn. Brother Rice. Drove past 63rd Kedzie yesterday.
The Cubs had four years to regain the Series, Darvish had those two seasons.
I understand front office hard reality, but Joe G not hired, Chili Davis packed off, and other
Theoisms set the stage. This is rebuilding and the Cubs are in a long haul.
Nice to meet DC. Hang in there. Stay safe.

You stay safe too. I have to admit I do love Wrigley Field. Discovered that when I go wear my Cardinals cap, much safer than wearing a Sox cap! Play well!

Wow, the season is now half over and we missed this thread for a year! Go Cards! Enjoying Albert Pujohls finishing up his career where he started.

As am I. I was fortunate to see him locally against our Single A team when he was coming up through the minors.
Great player. Class act. And he almost pulled off the Home Run Derby.

I really hope he can get to 700, he would have had it, except they could pitch around him for so many years.

I guess I didn't realize he was at 13 shy. I'm rooting for him, but if he's hanging up his cleats after this year, that may be a stretch. Either way, his next stop is Cooperstown.

Somewhere right now the shade of Don Larsen is saying "yeah, but *I* didn't need three other guys..."

But at least it got ESPN to finally put a World Series story at the top of its homepage and not second or third behind some regular season NFL or college football one.

Well, even though my Cards didn't make it, this is turning out to be a great Series so far.
And it has been a memorable Season for us too!

I don't understand modern baseball. It's the World Series. What are they saving the guy for, a road trip to Cleveland next April?

Well, the Trade shopping has started. Hope the Cards can get Contreras, that guy has an arm like a cannon!

Well, my Cards did get Contreras! Whew!
I wonder what his reception will be at his return to Wrigley in a Cardinals' uniform?

Wow! My Missus surprised me big time. She has rented a B&B near Jupiter, FL in March so I will get to fulfill a bucket list dream of going to a Cardinals Spring Training Game. I am a truly blessed man to have such a lady.
What's the date in March? On the 2nd and 6th they play the Astros. Bring Kleenex, there could be tears.

The Cardinals did a really fine documentary on Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina's record of 325 starts.

Cards honor Waino, Yadi with 'Chase to 325' documentary
As much as Cardinals cornerstones Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina were celebrated for setting the AL/NL record for their 325 starts as a battery, it is their shared journey that is worthy of the most praise and admiration. From the injuries that nearly derailed their lengthy careers to the...

"Truck Day" was Friday, the day all New England celebrates the departure of the Red Sox' equipment truck from Boston to Fort Myers. I understand Chris Sale was driving -- they have to find some way for the big lump of cheese to work off his contract.
