The weather was perfection. The vibes were good with the Cubs unexpectedly in a Wild Card and Division race in mid-August. It was a quintessentially Chicago weekend with the Air and Water Show punctuating the normal cadence of a Cubs game with the roar of fighter jets. The Cubs’ 6-4 win over the Royals was the perfect tribute to Chicago radio icon Lin Brehmer on what would have been his 69th birthday.
Lin would have loved every second of Saturday at the Friendly Confines.
As Crane Kenney noted during an interview with Marquee Sports Network during the top of the third inning, “Lin’s Binge” brought together his loves: music, baseball and food.
