I was at that game. Took my little nephew. Rode the El from Forest Park. I remember they won. Got some phone numbers from a few cuties too. That was the last Cubs or Sox game I went to as I was living in Colorado. This was when Harry was recovering from a stroke. I almost wished I didn't go but watch the game as I heard Murray was hilarious.
I had a buddy that was a key grip who married a local Colorado gal. I drove him to Phoenix since he was hired for a Chevy commercial featuring Ryne Sandberg. This was during spring training . Remember the commercials? I was just hanging around when they needed a center fielder for the commercial so they had me put on a Cubs uniform.
I was that tall guy in the outfield. I got paid $150. I also stole a baseball and had Sandberg sign it for my friend. From what I heard he rarely signed autographs.
