First Cubs game at Wrigley Field.



On Wednesday I attended my first cubs game at Wrigley Field. It was quite a dilemma to decided to go b/c the Wings and the Pistons playoffs were on as well. I made a good decision and went to the game (both Wings and Pistons ended up losing - I was receiving updated scores from some friends as a back up)

The field was much different that Comerica Park. It is a really old stadium. As in, there are no TVs to watch replays and no modern music for when the batters are up to bat. This occurs at Comerica (Tigers) , US Cellular Field (White Sox), and Turner Field (Braves). The score board is really old school and they manual change the score.

The Cubs won that night and it was a great game. It was 1-0 Dodgers until the 9th inning. During the bottom of the 9th the bases were loaded and the pitcher had walks which brought someone home. Then in the 10th inning there was a pop up which was caught but the man on 3rd was able to run home, which made a Cubbies victory of 2-0.

It was a nice night at the ballpark and not too cold. Good first experience at Wrigley Field. My goals is to go to 6 ballparks this year (especially Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park)
