Where it all began!

First game and great seats! I am on the left and my cousin Josh B is on the right.

I attended my first professional baseball game on May 14, 1995 at beautiful Wrigley Field, as if there is anywhere else to begin such a journey! Our seats were down the first base side (closer to home plate) about 8 rows up. From what I can remember is that Sammy Sosa hit two home runs and the Cubs lost to the Padres! Some things never change.

Before the game, I remember my mom and I getting a ball full of autographs with Hall of Famers like Billy Williams and Fergie Jenkins.  We also got personal favorites Mark Grace, Ron Santo and Sammy Sosa.  Promotional item was a blue Cubs 'Square D' tote bag; my mom still uses it to this day!
