  1. While cleaning out my Dad's house a few weeks ago I found pictures he took at a Cubs game when he was 17. I put them in a box with a bunch of other things and brought them home, promptly forgetting about them until tonight. I pulled them out and showed them to my son. As we looked closer, we noticed they were taken on Aug. 3, 1941. The Brooklyn Dodgers were at Wrigley. We then realized that my son will be going to the game tomorrow at Wrigley on Aug. 3, 2013. The LA Dodgers will be at Wrigley.
