Chicago Cubs: We’ll always have Wrigley
We play in Chicago at the most historic ballpark in all of baseball. To Cubs’ fans (and many other fans of the game), Wrigley Field is the pinnacle of baseball stadiums. It’s a fact that we may forget or take for granted from time to time, but we have an awesome park. We could have a field named after a mortgage or insurance company. We could have a cookie-cutter stadium that screams boredom and mediocrity. But, we don’t- we have the crown jewel in all of baseball. To make things even better, it’s getting even more amazing.

With any luck, and some help from the Baseball Gods, the sun will be shining on Opening Day tomorrow afternoon at Wrigley Field. Even if it’s not, it’s still going to be The Friendly Confines. Regardless of how bad it gets, just know that we still have an iconic stadium.
Even in all those 100 some odd years of futility, we always had Wrigley to fall back on. There was hope, optimism, and comfort knowing you’d see ivy, brick, and Harry popping out of the booth for the 7th inning stretch. Not all teams have this.
So, even in the darkest hour of Cubs’ fandom, even in the worst nightmare you could ever possibly have about the Cubs, take solace in the fact that it could always be worse- we could play 10 miles south of Wrigley.
