Wrigley's Knothole view of the field

After the Cubs/Cardinals game on September 10, 2007, my group checked out the player's parking lot and walked around the ballpark towards the train station...in the rain.

It was around 8pm at this point.

Anyway, here is the "Wrigley Field knothole view" that we've heard so much about.
I think its a kewl thing. Give the folks who couldn't get tickets a look at the game.

The Harry Caray statue at Wrigley Field

Most of us just glance at the the Harry Caray statue at Wrigley Field, or get our picture taken with "him", without really studying the details in this statue.

Here's your chance to see what you may have missed on the way to the Cub's game...

Go ahead, click on a photo for a larger view.

The faces within the statue reminds me of Rassilon's tomb
in the Doctor Who story "The Five Doctors".
Does anyone else remember this?

Bacci Pizzeria at Addison / Wrigley Field

When you first get off the Addison L stop on the Red line,
the first restaurant you'll see to the west is Bacci's pizza.

After the game, my group was looking for a speedy place to eat that wasn't a bar.

Since it was raining and we needed to take the train home. This was the place we chose.

Their location is brilliant. (Their rest room isn't....just a warning there...)

Anyway, for under $5 with tax, you'll get a giant slice of pizza that is probably the size of two generous slices of someone else's pizza slice and a cup of soda.
I'm a water drinker, so the free soda thing wasn't a big deal, but I was thankful for the food and water...and not having to walk further in the rain. :)
