Sorry I missed the trek to Wrigley. I have not darkened the doors of Wrigley since the lights (out of protest). I agree that baseball should be played oin the daytime. Also, I may ony have been there a couple times since 1969 !!! ughh. I still can't talk about that.
"It's a beautiful day for a ball game, let's play 2!", Mr. Cub #14, Ernie Banks.
My magic numbers are derivatives of 7.....
- # 7 my number in my fraternity Class (Alpha Phi Alpha)
- #14, Mr. Cub, Ernie Banks, and the Kessinger - Becker to Banks double play trio.
- #21 Stan "the man" Mkita, Black Hawks, although my man is the Golden Jet, Bobby Hull #9
Of course, my numerology does have a couple exceptions:
- The entire 1985 Bears (Walter Payton, McMahon, Singletary and the entire defense, Refrigerator Perry, Buddy Ryan). With the exception of Coach Ditka, who systematically dismantled that team. They could have beena dynasty .... al least three Championship runs. There is a good documentary on Netflix or Hulu.(** I saw a poster of the 1985 Bears at a greasy spoon oin CA a couple years ago. It still made me shiver. If anyone has seen one, or has one, please send me the company name on the bottom on the poster.)
- The Greatest of All Time (GOAT), #23 the man, the myth, the legend - Micheal Jordan.
- Gale Sayers, #40 Chicago Bears
