Just when it seems that contraction has been pocketed and Major League Baseball appears content on playing a boy’s game, the Chicago Cubs have gone and upset the tranquility of the sport Did the world say anything when the Cubs traded away Lou Brock or Greg Maddux? No. Has anyone com plained that the Cubs have not won a National League pennant since 1945 or a World Series since 1908? No. Perhaps it was their cute little name with their innocent-looking mascot but the world sat silent through what has been nearly a hundred years of stu pidity on the part of the Cubs. But now the team that plays in the oldest National League bal lpark in op- eration, Wrigley Field, is messing with tradition, and this must not go unno ticed. The Chicago Cubs have plans to expand Wrigley by2,000seats and add windscreens for “security” purposes, along with other “improvements” to the stadium. Both will hinder the view of the games from the rooftops of nearby apartment buildings. For decades, Chicagoans have been able to watch their beloved Cubs rest in mediocrity from the tops ofbuild* ings that sit adjacent to Wrigley Field. But now, in their greedy attempt to snatch more money from their fan base, the Cubs are toying with the idea of the stadium. This season alone, the price for just one game on the roof of the Bricken Ivy apartment building ranges from $65 to $125. But not only are individuals paying to sit in a lawn chair on a roof, but they are also getting four bathrooms and two showers, a presentatiqn room, seven big screen televisions, bever ages, a fireplace, dance floor, grilled burgers, and dining tables all supplied by the building managers. Could you imagine watching Sammy Sosa hit one out of the park while you are getting your groove on with a hot blonde? Truly, that would be the pinnacle of any male’s life. Yet now this seems to be coming to an end, as the Cubs have already placed darkened windscreens surrounding the perimeter of the ball park, claiming that by obstructing the view from the outside, the team will be protecting the lives of those inside. While small airplanes are still allowed to fly over Wrigley, the team believes that the windscreens w ill act as a shield for ticket-buyers and athletes alike. Chicago Aiderman Bernard Hansen is counteracting this selfish stride by proposing to let apartment buildings soar to 73 feet Currently, buildings sur rounding Wrigley can max out at 61 feet tall, but with a 12-foot increase, the windscreens and ballpark ad justments will not prevent “roofers” from seeing the entire expanse of Wrigley. So as the drama of Chicago and its historic Wrigley Field plays out the world watches in anxious anticipation.
