Stephen Strasburg makes a stop at Wrigley Field today, which considerably less hype than in the recent past. Still, I’m excited to see him in person for the first time.
I’ll be at today’s game in the right field bleachers (as close to the LED board as possible), with a blue BN shirt and blue/yellow shoes. If you see me, say hey.
