Opinion: Wrigley In A Day
…yesterday, my buddy harold and i did something a bit impulsive, but well worth it…we left new york at 7 am for chicago to see the mets play at wrigley field, caught the game, then flew back to new york…
…we got into town and met up with a group of mets fans at Murphy’s Bleachers, including Chicago Mets Fan, and the seiger family who were going to their first wrigley game…i was pretty tired from getting up at 5 am, but i powered through… thanks red bull…
…this was my third time at wrigley, and i can’t imagine a better baseball experience than going to a game there…if you have been to a game with me, you know i can be quite vocal in the good times and the bad, but my taunts were reciprocated in a harmless way which is the opposite of what happens when i go to yankee stadium for example…the fans don’t boo their players, in fact, fans in the left field bleachers boo the right field bleachers and vice versa all in good fun…no fights broke out which made it an event you can actually bring kids to, and not once was there a line for the restroom…all of which have become unheard of at shea i hate to say…however, the song that fans sing after the cubs win is very lame, and they cheer for kosuke fukudome the whole entire game for no apparent reason…
…all in all, besides the mets playing like high schoolers yesterday, it was a great time and always worth the trip, even if you have to get up at 5 am…here is a quick slideshow i put together of the experience…and to set the record straight for those who have asked, my last name is pronounced court-monch, not munch…
