What happened on 08-08-88?
Edited on Fri Aug-08-08 09:07 AM by Catshrink
The first night game at Wrigley Field. Except that it was rained out and played the next night. Mark Grace and some other players used the field tarp as a "Slip 'n Slide" to entertain the fans. I think they were fined for endangering themselves or something.

It was a big day in Chicago.

6. You left out this little tidbit
Chi-town had been in the grip of drought all summer. On that night, and only on that night, it rained -- after people had plunked down $thousands for seats to be a part of history. :eyes:
