Witnessed my first MLB Grand Slam in person at Wrigley Field Thursday afternoon

Bottom of the first Cubs v Reds.

A grand slam by Javier Baez ,  I am a Reds fan but I can still appreciate watching a great team even though they beat us up pretty good (9 to 5) and swept the series.

It was 81 degrees with 22MPH sustained winds blowing straight out center field.

A great day at the ballpark in a cool city.

Wrigley is about as old school as it get's with MLB.  The surrounding neighborhood is great for pre and post game fun.  I am glad you enjoyed the game.  I am a long time fan of the Big Red Machine going back to the days of Charley hustle, Bench, Perez and Morgan.  Now I live in Cubs country.

I agree, We walked the 5 blocks from the hotel to Wrigley through the Boystown neighborhhod and went to Casey Morans right after the game.

I am very old school, I didn't want them to put lights up at Wrigley, but I understand.

I have been a Reds fan since 1970.

Indy used to be the AAA farm club for the Reds when I was a kid.

I went to yesterday's game and sat in the left field bleachers. Barely 50 degrees, windy and began to rain steadily in the 5th inning. Miserable! It figures all week it was in the 80's and sunny. Gotta love Chicago weather!
