Wow- A Wrigley Field horror story that has nothing to do with a Cubs loss.

And I've been there- I attended a game where they were doing interleague play against the Toronto Blue Jays- so I can say that.

That stadium has such a great vibe. And I’m envious of your having been there for the Blue Jays game! 😊

It appears mom saw more in her son than he thought she did!

Indeed. My mom has always known more about me than I know myself. 😀

As a Chicago girl, my appreciation for the Wrigley reference is only topped by the story itself. Great read!

Oh my gosh, thank you so much for this comment! I’m from Indianapolis and Chicago was my go-to party town all through the ‘90s. Love the vibe. I also like all the used bookstores. I had friends who lived off Marina drive and my m.o. was to drive up on a Friday night and return late on Sunday. So much to do there. And Wrigley Field and the streets around it always had such a fun vibe. Again, thank you so much for taking the time to remark on my story. 😀

Thank you for leaving these comments, Thomas, and for the restack! I have read Cormac McCarthy and so love his style. “Blood Meridian” is just… Oh my gosh, so intense! The week after he died I wrote a piece in homage of him called The Bible Salesman: https://danielwdavison.substack.com/p/the-bible-salesman
