Stay Off Your Phones

Stay off your cell phones at ball games. Seriously. If all parties involved in the following had done so, then there wouldn't have been this post.

First, this story came out - https://www.cubshq.com/amp/update/WATCH-Young-Cubs-fan-gets-Baez-signed-ball-after-fan-steals-his-25175 - about how a guy gave a ball to his wife instead of a kid. Later, there was a signed baseball delivered to the kid. Second, this story came out - https://deadspin.com/sounds-like-everyone-should-lay-off-that-cubs-fan-who-1827798042 - as it turns out that the guy had previously given the kid a baseball that came their way. There were people sitting near the kid and the man who "stole" the ball from the kid who went on social media and defended the man.


In other news, this is the view from the seats Karen, Jean, and the kids sat in during Sunday's game - a victory! - and last night's game - a 7 - 1 loss! - in Wrigley Field:



On second thought, stay on your cell phones at ball games - it gave me a subject about which to babble about instead of a Metallica video or a political video or a link to an article related to writing.
