Another Cubs guy here
Spent many a day at Wrigley in the late 70's. Among things I witnessed were the troughs, getting Lou Boudreau's auto on the ramp up to the press box. Dave Kingman riding in a Bronco with Holtzman. Couldn't sign a ball, they were going Salmon fishing. Received a ball from Richie Hebner, saw Ronnie Woo come onto Waveland on the back of a garbage truck, he had a hot chocolate and polish for breakfast. Last, but not least, stood in line under stands with Ron LeFlore. He was in civi's as the first game of a DH was being played. Finishing up the game from day before due to darkness or rain. He was with Expos. He ordered a coffee. Great times. Plus some guy named Ricky who was always first in line at the gate, and bothering everybody.
