I have found myself apologizing far too often for being overly dismissive with the lineup posts this season, but I feel like it’s for a very good reason this time. Today is the 40th anniversary of a legendary contest dubbed The Sandberg Game and its hero will have his statue unveiled during a pregame ceremony at Gallagher Way. Not bad timing for my first game at Wrigley this year.
We’ve been in the southwest suburbs since Thursday for my son’s baseball tournament and his last game was early this morning, giving us the opportunity to make it to the ceremony and game.
