Forty-one years ago today, the sun was shining, Hall of Famer Lee Smith was pitching and Ferris Bueller and his friends skipped school to see the @Cubs play at Wrigley Field.
A worthy excuse, if you ask us.

Thrilled that I finally got to meet @scottmerkin Sunday at the #WhiteSox game! Grew up reading his Chicago Sting coverage in #DeweyDefeatsTruman Sports section. Sadly, immediately after this pic was taken, Scott crashed into the iPhone lens and broke his nose. Still, a great day!
