Hey and I definitely can't forget this great moment I witnessed. Special too as it was a father-son event. In a spur of the moment, two days before the game I secured tickets and made flight reservations for a NLCS playoff game. With little notice RipkenFanSon had to take a train from Providence to home, so we could flyout to Chicago. We went to Wrigley Field in October 2016 in the hopes that the Cubs would close out the Dodgers and not need a seventh game sending them to the World Series for the first time since 1945. Tickets were better than I expected (about 15 rows from field, RF). We didn't want to leave the field..such a celebration. Crowded L-station heading back to hotel. Such exuberation (pre-"social distancing.").
