Bill Savage -- a member of the Society for American Baseball Research who teaches courses on baseball literature and film at Northwestern University and the Newberry Library of Chicago -- is a lifelong Cubs fan. All season, he'll document the sights and sounds from his seats at Wrigley Field and share stories from around town as the Lovable Losers chase history.
For Friday night's Cubs game against the Giants, Rich and I weren't in 416: We'd scored bleacher seats instead. So while other seatmates held down the fort in the upper deck, I headed to Wrigley early to soak up the atmosphere.
