WOW! There really is nothing quite like Opening Day at Wrigley Field in Chicago. What an experience! We felt cold, warm, frustrated, and exhilirated. I went with my son Warren, and friends Steve and Matt. We had great seats a little behind third base and under the upper deck so we were out of the rain. The game's start was delayed by about 35 minutes or so due to rain and there was a 47 minute rain delay in the bottom of the third inning, but they got it in and by the time it was over the temperature was 60 degrees (It was about 42 degrees when the game started). The Cubbies honored Cub great Ernie Banks at the beginning of the game, which was very appropriate. Here are a few pictures of the days events.

Well, the Cubs lost to Milwaukee 4-3 in 10 innings, but that is okay, I had a great time anyway. Baseball is back and all is right with the world.
