My goal when I got back into writing was not to become rich or famous — both of which would have been pretty ill-advised targets for a blogger anyway — but I have achieved a small degree of notoriety. As such, I wanted to add a new dimension to Cubs Insider’s second annual watch party, which will be taking place Sunday, 4/10 at the Scotty’s Brewhouse on 96th St. in Indianapolis. Last year’s party went pretty well, but I felt that it was missing a certain je ne sais quoi.
My “aha moment” came when the GM of one of the Cubs’ minor league affiliates reached out and said they’d be willing to donate some swag to the party if and when I got it scheduled.
