Longtime Wrigley Field Organist Gary Pressy to Retire at End of Season

After entertaining fans at Wrigley Field for 33 years, organist Gary Pressy plans to retire at the end of the 2019 season, according to the Chicago Tribune.

"I've been there a third of a century, 33 years, and I think the cup is full," Pressy said. "I was debating it back-and-forth, but I really just wanted to spend more quality time with my family. Around the All-Star break I really got to thinking about it and made my decision."

Wrigley Field started using a full-time organ player in 1967, and Pressy joined the Cubs in 1987.
