It takes a lot of work to prepare Wrigley Field, Chicago for another baseball game. Worth getting to the stadium early to watch it all unfold. Copyright 2019 Pamela BreitbergParticular attention is paid to the pitcher’s mound. Last night the Cubs played the Cardinals. And 49 years earlier on this date was this St. Louis Cardinal’s fan’s first date with my future husband, a Chicago Cub’s fan. So perfect night to wear our true colors and celebrate together. Copyright 2019 Pamela BreitbergPrepping for reporting. Copyright 2019 Pamela BreitbergPreliminary interviews by a few of the sportscasters that will cover the game. Copyright 2019 Pamela BreitbergContinuing attention to the pitcher’s mound and infield areas. Copyiright 2019 Pamela BreitbergThe field is now completely unwrapped. Copyright 2019 Pamela BreitbergAfter the field is carefully level and clean the hose comes out to lightly water down the loose dirt. Copyright 2019 Pamela BreitbergDid I mention before the pitcher’s mound gets the most attention!? Copyright 2019 Pamela BreitbergA bit more loose dirt added to infield. Copyright 2019 Pamela BreitbergAs important as field preparations are professional, concentrated warmups. Here Wilson Contreras stretches in the outfileld; his usual place is infield as catcher.
