I was born in Chicago, and my grandfather used to take me and my brother to Cubs games.
All the National League teams came to Wrigley: The Mets, The Cardinals, The Phillies…
The Pirates wore their yellow and black.
Now, this was before Wrigley had lights, so every home game was a day game.
If the game went into extra innings, the umpires would call the game when it got too dark.
The station at Addison, full of angry drunk fans.
Take the Red Line South, then the Green Line West.
Back in Oak Park for a quiet family dinner.
