Good morning. Just about the perfect day yesterday for me, hitting up Wrigley and then spending the evening strolling around my old neighborhood in Chicago and eating at one of my favorite restaurants. Game was lots of fun, minus the cold weather and the 9th inning collapse. I posted pics in the Wrigley 100th Anniversary thread. Here's a couple more...

First beer of the day - 10:30AM, Murphy's Bleachers

Some random notes:
- Panini will love photos from this game... no logos on the hats worn! Cubs were in throwback Chicago Federals jerseys and Arizona in Kansas City Packers uniforms.
- You could buy the bases from the game for $1000 each. But they changed them at the end of every inning. $27,000 in base sales!
- Literally rubbed shoulders with Fergie Jenkins in the concourse.
- Beers have eclipsed $8.00 mark.
- Mailed the postcards I promised after the game. Hope you guys enjoy them.

And you guys probably remember the 1914 postcard I posted. Well here it is with a 2014 update I made.

Glad to hear you had a good time. The two post card pics are amazing. I wish the Cubs would have won but to me at least it seems kind of fitting they lost the way they did.

Andersonville, about a mile north of Wrigley. Corner of Clark and Foster is what most people identify. It has a Swedish history. The restaurant I ate at is Persian though, Reza's.

Erin and I lived in Andersonville before moving to the burbs.

Calo had the best pizza in the city, and we put the owner's kids through college drinking at Konak.

Great. Just spilled my cup of Mt. Dew all over my desk and some cards. Thankfully the cards it got on were just some base and inserts. I don't have time to get it cleaned up completely since I have to go to a group meeting. Now its just a matter of getting rid of the stickiness. The lid from the Mt. Dew popped off (cup you get at fast food restaurant) and just went everywhere. I was craving the Mt. Dew too :lol:

Those are all back at home. Noticed that the runoff from the desk was landing on top of my binder full of TTM and IP autos. Thankfully nothing happened there

Also just remembered that Erin and I had our first date at Andie's, right next door to Reza's.

I believe they are owned by the same folks too.

Mmmmm that moment when you can't sell a card on the site for $10 and then it's already bid past $20 on eBay =]

Congrats Steve. How much more did you have to add to the max that you had in mind to win that card?

About $17 over where I thought I could get it. Wasn't a big deal. My max bud was $30 over where I figured it to go. It was a must add for me, as Hosmer jumbo patches don't get produced very often.

Good Afternoon Gents! Busy day at work but it is flying by :)

Charlie - Nice pictures from the game on facebook, looks like O had a GREAT time!

Brad - AMAZING photos yourself and I like the then and now that you did :)

Steve - Excellent jumbo patch, and I can't wait to see the Bo redeemed. Looks like those golds have no patches, or 1 patch, or 2 patch...not much consistency there.
