You're not wrong for having that mindset but it's also not wrong for the fan to want to catch a ball in the stands. When you go to a game as a fan, you're expected to be on the lookout for foul balls for your own personal safety. We all say we'd back off but until you're there, in the moment, you don't know what your knee jerk reaction might be. Bottom line is the game is played on the field, not in the box seats. The fan didn't reach into the field of play and cause interference, he had every right to that ball. Good on Rizzo for getting back to position and focusing on the next play instead of throwing a hissy fit like Moises Alou. That was the most despicable, shameful moment in franchise history that night in 2003 from a player and fan standpoint and I will never not defend a fan trying to catch a ball out of the field of play.

He loved it, man. Thanks for asking. He was in complete awe of the whole experience. The hot dog, seventh inning stretch, singing “Go Cubs Go.” It was an awesome experience for us both. He woke up this morning talking about it and saying he wants to go every day. Lol. I had to reel him back in a bit.

Awesome! That’s the way to do it. Get them started young. I took my daughter to her first game at age 5 as well in 2016. Being Cubs fans is in both of their DNA now. It’s cool to see.

Thanks buddy! I’ve been to some great baseball games at a Wrigley but nothing tops seeing the joy in my kids at their first games. It’s truly a magical place, as all of us Cubs fans know.
Did anyone else see how Milwaukee won tonight? Detroit ties it in the top of 8. Bottom of 8, Braun hits a solo shot to go up by 1, but it’s only a HR because the Detroit right fielder lets the ball roll out of his glove and over the fence. It was like the ball was rolling along the edge in slow motion and just trickled over. These pesky ass Brewers just won’t go away.
If someone didn’t know he was long retired they might mistake Hendricks for him. He was painting corners Maddux style today. Great outing.
maddux didn’t really paint corners.....he just got everything within 6” off
If I had known then what I know now...
