Wednesday Afternoon Diversion: Play Ball!

With the sudden emergence of mid-summer in Chicago this week, we take another look back at some classic Chicago television, to a Cubs game that aired on WGN on Friday, April 25th 1980. The segment, called "Faces of Wrigley", ran during the seventh inning of a Cubs Pirates game (the Cubs eventually beat Pittsburgh, 5-3). Seeing everyone wrapped up in their spring coats reminds us of a classic saying about Chicago weather: if you don't like it, wait a minute.
