From all of us here at The Wrigley Blog -
Just wanted to wish you all a Merry Old Christmas.
Go Cubs!

Happy Birthday Johnny
Happy Birthday to our old pal Johnny.
I reckon that being born on the shortest day of the year has something to do with your appreciation of summertime Day Baseball.
Well sir - we sure do appreciate all you have done over this last season to contribute to this here blog. You have done some dandy work here:

Wrigley Field Drive GoodBye

Fans of all ages gathered outside the Friendly Confines this afternoon to watch Ron Santo drive by for the final time. I wish I had the words handy to express the sorrow we here at this blog are feeling today. Ronnie was such a happy guy, and losing him - well sir - it just makes us truly sad.
Only thing that made us feel a bit better was to get on the computer and donate to Ronnie's cause. If you would like to help out, please visit www.jdrfillinois.org and donate $10 for our number 10.
I know he'd appreciate it.

Wrigley Turned Into A Santo Shrine
I'd say it is only fitting that the same place Ronnie Santo thought of as a shrine became a makeshift shrine to him following his passing.
The boys here at the blog sent me down to take some photographs these last few days, and I sure hope they capture some of the emotion around the park. A lot of folks made it down to pay their respects to old number 10. He certainly deserved it.

Remembering #10 At Wrigley Field
Just a few photographs from around The Stadium on this sad, sad day.
I think it is safe to say that Ron Santo was an even bigger fan of Wrigley Field than we are. At numerous occasions - on the air, I have heard him recount the first time he walked onto the field in 1960 alongside Ernie Banks. He said there was a feeling of electricity that he'd never had - that it was like walking on air.
We here know just exactly what old #10 was talking about. And we are going to miss hearing his voice. And we are going to miss hearing him retell that story.
