Wrigley Field was half circus, half Ben Kingsley movie last night

Hey, Postmen readers! Perhaps it’s been a while. I hope you’ve enjoyed the numerous FanHouse links that have now fully covered our front page. Allow me to apologize — things are slowing down here, perhaps permanently. Busy busy. We’ll keep you posted.

In the meantime, you should watch these videos of Wrigley Field last night. There was this big old storm, you see, and it came crashing down on the North Side of Chicago — tornadoes, huge winds, lightning — it was biblical and terrifying. Most of my neighbors lost their power. I didn’t, and I was playing Rock Band all night. I’m a nerd.

But Wrigley Field, that’s where things went a little crazy. Not only did people slide on the tarp during the storm, a large number of fans somehow waited the thing out and risked life, limb, dignity, and life to stay and watch the Chicago Cubs play baseball. Not smart. Also: kind of awesome.
