CCB #128: Rethinking Fandom with Craig Calcaterra

Fridays in Wrigleyville are made for day baseball. Fans from the North Side of Chicago know that if the Cubs are in town they will play at the Friendly Confines at 1:20. I have sometimes wondered how many people in the sold-out stands fibbed a little to their boss to get the afternoon off, or rearranged their schedule to grab a beer in the sun-drenched bleachers at the corner of Sheffield and Waveland Avenue.

However, the Cubs have another Friday legacy now, what we’ve been calling Blue Friday for the last few months on Cuppa Cubbie Blue.
