When I went to Wrigley Field earlier this summer I took tons of pics.
One thing I enjoyed was walking around the neighborhood checking out all the mom & pop Cubs stores and stands.
I’m not a fan of the merchandise that bashes other teams.
These next few shots are from one of the big stores next to the stadium. I don’t know what it is called but I bet any Cubs fan could tell us in two seconds.
Notice how almost everything is Cubs blue, not some crazy Charlie Samuels black or marketing department variant?
I thought the Japanese nameplate on the Fukodome jerseys was fun. The Cubs fan I was with bought one, and I asked him how he could be sure it didn’t say “Dopey American.” Maybe Fukodome giggles his way to the bank.
Spoke too soon…some green stuff has infiltrated!
Tomorrow we’ll take a subway ride to Wrigley!
