…and by “we,” I mean me, my lovely wife, and former Oakland ace Rich Harden.
Back in January, I entered a storytelling contest held by a design & marketing company in Chicago. I wrote about my granddad and his experiences in World War 2, then got everyone I knew (and, in turn, everyone they knew) to vote for my story.
I won the contest. (Click that link to read the story, if you’re interested. It’s not sports-related, but it is Jason-related. Not sure why I just wrote that.)
The grand prize was a weekend trip to Chicago to watch the Cubs play. This, of course, was why I entered the contest, and it just so happens that the trip is this weekend. I’m watching the Cubs play the Giants Friday at Wrigley and — even better — get to see Rich Harden make his Cubs debut on Saturday afternoon. Should be wild. Welcome to Chicago, Rich. Stay healthy. Hope the risk is worth the potential reward.
I’ll update upon return.

Jason, I’ll be about 1000 miles away watching my favorite team play a home game as well. It will be my son’s first trip to Fenway. Have a great time this weekend!

That’s pretty awesome, Jason. Wrigley is a wonderful trip.

not a bad game to get to see.
