The Cubs’ comeback from an eight-run deficit against Atlanta on April 14 was my favorite game of the year… and I did not see one second of the game as it occurred. As an avid Cubs fan, there’s very rarely a game I catch literally none of, but I had a pretty good reason on that blustery, rainy, frigid Saturday: I was busy getting married.
While perhaps I should have taken my lead from local radio host Matt Spiegel, who got married the morning of the 14th and took in the game from a Wrigley suite in place of a typical reception, we scheduled our wedding with no thought given to the afternoon start time.
