2016 05 06 The Cubs V Washington

Taffy, Jim, Donna and I went to Wrigley Field for the Cubs V Washington game. So exciting as the Cubs are at the top of the league and it's been 107 years since they won the Championship. (All the wrong terms I expect LOL) What a fabulous afternoon!! Great seats with a perfect view - in the shade which was wonderful as it was so hot and sunny yesterday! Poor Jim between myself and Donna trying to explain the game of Baseball to us!! I loved it - so exciting and to be there at the home game and The Cubs won - wow what a great last day we were having!!

Can you see the ball? It's travelling at nearly 100 mph!! Best on black of course!!

Thanks for all your lovely comments and Favs on my Chicago shots I am so pleased to be able to share this fantastic adventure with you all!!
Fantastic action shot. I love the stripes in the grass going different ways. Yes I can see the ball, just about to enter the brown segment in front of the batter.

Holy cow, you captured the ball in flight! Lovely action shot, with all the players in motion and the clean lines in the grass. Great year to see the Cubbies play!

Love love love that the ball is on the move and you caught it! Much more fun yesterday than today (I'm cleaning out my university office and just taking a lunch break).

@rosiekerr I wonder if Pam knows why the "Holy Cow" phrase is so appropriate? Harry Carey, beloved sports announcer, used it all the time.

@taffy @rosiekerr I don't know why it is appropriate - I just laughed as I could almost hear Rosie saying it!!

My former and present pastors are Cubs fans. They were hoping last year was the Cubs year. maybe this year they will break the drought.

How great that you managed to include both the diamond and part of the spectators here.

haha, I tease my husband (a hug Cubs fan) about the "this could be the year" saga. @taffy probably knows about that too. :p Great that you went to a game--classic Americana.

@darylo @taffy Now I am a Cubs fan too I want this year to be their year!! It was a great match to watch and the Cubs won 8-6!!
Thanks for all your comments on my shots Daryl!!

Great action shot, love how you have caught the anticipation of the runner at first thinking of stealing second and the first base man keeping a close eye on him, and then of course the pitcher and the ball in mid flight. Fantastic shot. GO SOX !!! :)
