Father's Day At Wrigley Field!

What an amazing Father's Day at Wrigley Field!

This is the fourth year that the Chicago Cubs management sponsored a Father's Day for anyone and everyone to be on Wrigley Field itself. For a mere $150/per person, anyone is allowed on the field, to play catch, run the bases, go in the batting cage, or just hang out with their dad.

(If you'd rather be a spectator, it's $15 to sit anywhere you'd like in the stands.) A red wristband is given to the spectators, while the players receive the honorary blue wristband to be on the field.

Our family gathered for a family reunion, and it was tremendous fun. Our son, Andrew and a family friend, Rob happened to be interviewed by Univision Television (Spanish-speaking T.V.), and my brother, Mark and Andrew were then shown catching, while my dad pretended to be swinging a bat.

It was even fun just sitting in the dugout, knowing that our butts rested on the same cushioned seats that the Cubs team used. Very cool.

Even the weather cooperated. After a rainy, overcast morning, the clouds magically parted during our 11:00 a.m. time, and the sun broke through in all its glory. A professional photographer was on hand to take pictures of everybody, and all the photos were made available afterwards at no charge in an acrylic frame. A lunch of burgers, hot dogs and chicken sandwiches were also provided in the price.

A great way to spend Father's Day for a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
