A cold day in Wrigleyville
I’m sitting here in a warm house. The outside temperature is two below zero. I’m thinking to myself, it had better not be THIS cold on New Year’s Day when I’m sitting inside Wrigley Field watching the Winter Classic! I’ve been to extremely cold Opening Days in April where the temperatures were in the 30s, it has snowed and rained and the wind coming in off the lake was right in my face. But there’s no way I can handle cold like we have it today! I am hoping and praying for some freak 50 degrees or something like that. Each year my dad and I would go to Opening Day and just before the first pitch my dad would say “It’s time for kickoff.” Boy, even Bears games will seem warm! No wonder hockey is now played in indoor arenas!
