Chicago Cubs

You might have noticed that I have been on vacation the past week.  Where did I go?  I had the chance to see the Detroit Tigers in Baltimore and the Cubs in Pittsburgh.  My wife and I built a trip around these games.

I am amazed at some of the catches that MLB outfielders make.  Up until this year, the Tigers have been one of the weaker defensive teams.

It's been a long, cold winter, but a sign of spring is in the air. Baseball is back. Today is the first day of spring training for the Detroit Tigers in Florida.

One of the great ball parks still in existence is Wrigley Field in Chicago.  Recently there has been an overhaul at the park.  The Bleachers in left and right field are being replaced. Saturday it was announced that the bleachers won't be finished until May.

Yesterday was the 100 anniversary of Wrigley Field home of the Chicago Cubs.  One of the great iconic ball parks one of the oldest  parks still being used, the oldest is Fenway Park in Boston.  I unfortunately haven't been to a game at Wrigley, but I have heard the stories over the years on how no matter how bad the Cubs are this is a great place to see a Baseball Game.
