Just saw it on the opener pre-season coverage. I remember going to the Wrigley bleachers as a kid...never imagined something like that would be over a bleacher-bum's right shoulder!
But let me be clear...maybe NEXT year!

In the late '50s, I did catch a few night games at Seals stadium to watch the Giants play; they had light, too.
At night you could look over your shoulder and watch a huge schooner of Hamm's beer filling up and overflowing in neon lights, over and over again.
