This past weekend the Mets were in town and I went to a couple of games with Julie (I skipped the second game in protest of the concept of ‘Pitch Counts‘ which are completely arbitrary and in my humble opinion total bullshit). Today’s game the Mets actually won and as you can see in the photographs above I focused on the beermen and the ushers. Badass mustaches are nearly required to work as a beerman or an usher at Wrigley Field.
Jon Lovitz threw out the first pitch (after a muligan he made a decent throw) and sung during the 7th inning stretch. I must say I respect Lovitz as he didn’t wear the lame personalized jersey. Instead he wore a Ernie Banks jersey.
Side Notes:
* Tim Tebow of the Florida Gators made an appearance.
** Billy Cub once again was adhering to his restraining order and roaming the perimeter of Wrigley Field.
*** The view from my seat.
Little known team policy: all Cubs beermen and ushers are required to grow facial hair until the team actually wins the World Series. Some of the old timers look like Rick Rubin at this point.
That actually sounds about right. God bless their dedication… sometimes Hope can be a bitch.
Is that Wilford Brimley? He shouldnt be out in the Wrigley sun all day. Not with his diabeetus
Of course it is, Wilford has been manning section 242 for the last 75 years.
