The National League Division Series heads to Wrigleyville this afternoon, as the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs continue their first-ever postseason matchup. After two emphatic wins at the climate-controlled American Family Field, Mother Nature joins the Brewers and Cubs for Game 3 in the Windy City.
As most Brewers fans know, wind is a significant factor at Wrigley Field, changing the stadium from a hitters' paradise when the wind is blowing out to a pitchers' haven when it's blowing in. On days with a southerly wind, flyouts turn into homers, often frustratingly landing in the baskets atop the walls of Wrigley.
