The unseasonably cool and damp weather might have been a precursor for the evening. The Cubs took an early lead against the Marlins only to have the bullpen give up the lead for my first Cubs loss of the season. Despite the weather and the loss we had a great time sitting in the bleachers.

Cubs vs. Dodgers – April 24, 2019
The day we waited for all winter – our first day at Wrigley Field in 2019. After the annual visit to the World Series Trophy we headed inside and were pleasantly surprised by most of the improvements in the upper deck.
