As we approach season ticket appreciation weekend, we will be allowed to play catch, hand out, etc. at Wrigley on the field this weekend for a couple of hours.

Plus, I got an autographed ball today from Cashner, Castro and Colvin sent to me from the Cubs. No note, no nothing, it's in a cube, I assume it is a "Please renew your tickets" request?

So he had to take a second job just to get some money for the team?

How sad.

More Americans should try it...getting a second job to pay down their debts.

Or even a third :( :oops:

I will ask Saturday. Just guessing a Rickett or two will be on the field.

Tom was on the field today. So was Crane, Wally and all the department heads.

Plus FREE hot dogs, popcorn, Pepsi or Aquafina. They had huge inflatables on the field for kids to bounce on. I took a few swings in the batting cage and toured the Batter Eye, Cubs clubhouse and even got to see Ozzie's office (no wonder he complains).

The ball was the incentive for those who chose to pay for thier 2011 season tickets via check. If you paid by credit card no ball.

If you ask, I am sure there will be.

If Ricketts is unattended, I will have my talk with the man.

When I mean unattended, before people stopped coming to the games and he was out and about, he had an army of nazi your communications guys with him, reading blackberry messages to him, keeping him on schedule like a publicist would.
