Wrigley Field Grounds Crew

The Wrigley Field Grounds Crew removing the tarp on a rainy Sunday afternoon. April 30, 2006.

The Cubs ended up losing this game 0-9 to the Brewers; They should have just left he tarp on.

This was my first visit to the historic Wrigley Field. Since I am used to being at Jacob's Field (home of the Cleveland Indians), I thought that Wrigley was a bit of a letdown... but I still had a great time at the game. Go Tribe!

What didn't you like about Wrigley? Just curious....

Since I am from the Cleveland, Ohio area, I usually go to Jacob's Field for baseball games. "The Jake" is an awesome place with a fantastic atmosphere and (most importantly in comparison with Wrigley) the giant scoreboard with the Jumbotron. I love the way that Jacob's field is set up; It all seems so "big" and important. At Wrigley, it just felt like we were watching a minor league baseball game.

It's Historic Wrigley! Not Modern Jacobs!

You have to understand the history of the field.

Thanks for giving the ground crew love. I am a member and I most likely was one of those poor souls on that tarp. It is not that easy, that thing weighs a ton when it is wet.
