Wrigley Field

I write a chapter in my book Cutting The Game, Inside Television Baseball From The Director's Chair (www.cuttingthegame.com) about Wrigley Field.
Every baseball fan in the world should experience a Cardinals/Cubs game at Wrigley Field.
It doesn't matter where these two teams are in the standings.
It doesn't matter if it is a Monday night game or a Wednesday day game.
It doesn't matter if it is hot or cold.
It doesn't matter if it is sunny or raining.
It is absolutely great, great fun to be a fan in the stands for a Cardinals/Cubs game at Wrigley Field.
Every TV baseball director should cut a Cardinals/Cubs game out of Wrigley Field.
It doesn't matter where these two teams are in the standings.
It doesn't matter if it is a day game or a night game.
It doesn't matter if it is a weekday game or a game on the weekend.
It doesn't matter if there are 4, 5, 6 or 15 cameras.
It is absolutely great, great fun to direct a Cardinals/Cubs baseball game out of Wrigley Field.
As I sat in the cab back to the hotel after the game today, I was wondering why cutting a Cardinals/Cubs game from Wrigley Field is so rewarding and exciting.
I realized that during EVERY SINGLE Cardinals/Cubs game/telecast something memorable happens.
Something happens in EVERY Cardinals/Cubs game/telecast from Wrigley Field that is rarely seen, if ever seen, in a baseball game.
Every time.
Take this season for example.
Albert Pujols has a monster game with three homeruns.
On May 28th Cubs pitcher, Randy Wells, doesn't retire a single batter in the first inning against the Cardinals allowing 5 runs on 6 hits.
Today, he pitches seven shutout innings and gets the win.
In today's game with the Cubs batting, there is a pop-up hit between the mound and home plate and not one Cardinals infielder made an attempt to catch the ball. The ball dropped between the pitcher and the catcher for an rbi single.
I have never seen that play before.
Cardinals/Cubs at Wrigley Field.
Something different every time.
There is nothing better in TV sports!
