These photos are awesome.
I worked for the Cubs in the '80s and started out as game day security and eventually moved into the front office. When I started working at the old ball park I immediately realized that the Ushers room and security office was the former Cubs clubhouse from before they moved the clubhouse to the far left field corner in the '60's. The floors were still chewed up from the players spikes and it had that "locker room" feel much like the visiting clubhouse had in the exact same spot on the first base side of Wrigley. As a member of the security team I walked that catwalk so many times which was why I immediately recognized that area.
Now that the old ball park was renovated all those old offices and locker rooms are gone but it was so much fun knowing I was dressing for the ball game in the same place the great of Cubs past had done for so many summers before me.
This is an awesome memory for me.
