A Mild Uproar of Fun

Here I am working at the first game of the Cubs vs. Dodgers NLDS at Wrigley Field. For most of the game, I was in the media room watching the game. But at the end, I got to sit behind the plate in the 10th row!

The Cubs lost 7 - 2.

Tomorrow night, I will be working at the second game of the series. And then this weekend, I will be working at both the Brewers vs. Phillies game in Milwaukee and the White Sox vs. Rays at the Cell. Go White Sox! Actually, go Cubs, Brewers, and Sox since that means more jobs for me!

Here’s a short video clip of the Cubs’ batting practice before last night’s game:

October Country
… that country where it is always turning late in the year. That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are mist; where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and midnights stay. That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coal-bins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts. Whose people passing at night on the empty walks sound like rain…
