My first game was in 1985. It was the first game after the mini-strike. We had tickets to see the Cards and Cubs play a few games in SL, but only got to see one game. John Tudor 1 hits the Cubs. Leon Durham got the lone hit and the Cubs turned a triple play. My first game at Wrigley came in August of '89. The Cubs were 1 game behind the 1st place Expos. The took on the 'spos and Maddux was on the hill. He threw a gem, Ryno went yard, and the Cubs tied for first place and never left that position. I'll never forget walking up the steps to the grand stands. . . . .. seeing the ivy creep into view. . . followed by the greenest grass God ever created. I was 12 years old and I could barely breathe.
