Ernie Banks Update: They fixed the statue this morning!11!!

April 2nd, 2008 | Posted by PostmanR

I woke up this morning to a sunny day here in Chicago and my roommate telling me this: “I did a lap around Wrigley this morning on my run and there was a guy with some tools putting in an apostrophe on the statue.”

At first I thought he was effing with me, but he asked if I wanted to put money on it, so I went and checked it out myself. And lo and behold, there’s a damn apostrophe on there now. I know my earlier post had nothing to do with this; surely there were many people that noticed this gaffe. (For instance, Mary Schmich wrote about it this morning in the Trib.)

So yes: our long national nightmare is now over. The Cubs have fixed their error. All is right with the world.
