The Chicago papers cover it well enough. The Chicago TV is a disgrace.
Having said that; Carol Marin tried to take Chicago TV in that direction a couple of years ago by putting together a newscast devoid of "happy talk" and fires that focused on actual news and nobody watched. So don't blame the media for not trying to sell what people don't want to buy.
Y'know, now that you mention it, I haven't seen that for years - rumor is that when Eddie Stanky was managing the Sox, he always kept the home-game baseballs cold and damp to level the field when power hitting teams came to town.
Are there baseball fans at WRigley? I thought it was just a tourist attraction for folks from Iowa?
