A vine time at Wrigley Field

51s fall, 5-4, at Chicago's Wrigley Field

Sunday, Aug. 9, 2009

CHICAGO -- Welcome to the Road to Wrigley, which is sort of like the Road to Cashman Field, only with greener ivy. A stiff breeze is rustling the leaves on the ivy-colored walls of one of baseball's most revered cathedrals as the Iowa Cubs and the Las Vegas 51s prepare to do battle in the second installment of the Road to Wrigley, a minor league baseball game featuring one of the Cubs' minor league affiliates. It's very warm and the humidity just steamed a few dozen hot dogs. The wind is blowing straight out and from my seat in the press box, you can see the sailboats on Lake Michigan.
