Ahhh.. the Sandberg game.
As an employee of the Cubs this was the date I knew, as Harry Carey put it "the good Lord wanted the Cubs to win".
The team seemed to win nearly every home game and there was always a feeling that we were going to win allot of games that season. After being in the park for the Sandberg game and witnessing the incredible energy and excitement in the old ball park that day, I just somehow knew that the Cubs were going to the playoffs that year.
Now if we were only allowed to host all three games of the playoffs that we were supposed to be allowed to have, there is no doubt in my mind we would have been in the World Series.
RIP Mr. Sutter. I interacted with him many times and he was always gracious and approachable.
