Looking for Net54 members that went to Wrigley...

[Cubs Fan]

Saw my first game there in 87 right after they signed Dawson and Andre’s Army was all the rage. My aunt got our family seats in the “non-alcoholic” section in the left field bleachers because us kids were underage. Our section got heckled the entire game, it was awesome, fun stuff. Great game to of course they lost to the Giants by a jeffrey Leonard home run but they sure did give him a hard time the whole game as well. It was a blast !

Haha, the non-alcohol section of the Bleachers - I remember that, pretty sure it was right on the LF line, and what seemed like a 30 foot by 30 foot section of the Bleachers.

Jeffrey Leonard another great name from the past, wasn't he the guy who when he hit a Home Run ran with "one flap down". I think that was him, may have to Google it.

Oh yah it was Leonard, "one flap down".....

He called St. Louis a “cow town.” You Cubs fans must have loved that.

MVP of the 1987 NLCS which the Giants LOST. I believe (not sure) he is the only losing player to get that award.

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.

I watched the video, Moe. You owe me an hour and a half of my life.

Ronnie Woo Woo, how annoying was that guy after more than 30 seconds in your section of the Bleachers. Luckily he moved around.

But the "Cubbies woo!!!!, Cubbies woo!!!!, Cubbies woo!!!! Cubbies woo!!!! still haunts me.

The troughs!.....I'm waiting for one to come to auction at Goldin.

I'm bidding on it. It's all mine. Hands off!

How about the guys who would drop their pants to pee soaked floor and stand there peeing away. It's like "c'mon guy."

The guy who let out the "oh god", who's been holding it for like 5 innings and 8 beers.

Other guys drinking their beer as they're peeing.

The dad who was helping his son.

Good times.
