Patrick Wisdom’s game-winning home run Tuesday evening flew directly over my head. Here, have a look [VIDEO].
That’s me in the gray T-shirt turning around as the ball bounced high off the back concourse of the left-field bleachers. It briefly grazed the son of some friends of mine who were at the game, hit him in the side of the head. He’s okay — and while he didn’t get the home run ball, he did get a Wisdom autographed ball, so all’s well.
The Cubs thus won the game 8-7, just their second home win in their last eight tries at Wrigley Field.
