Cubs & MLB event at Navy Pier in Chicago

The Cubs & MLB gave so many wonderful people, who love the Cubs and just like baseball, a social event to enjoy at the Navy Pier in Chicago that none of us will ever forget. The venue was fantastic! The food and music was world class! The people in attendance had a marvelous time listening to top rated entertainers while visiting with good friends and meeting new people. Big Thank you to all who worked long hours to pull this extravaganza together. It is finally "WS game day at Wrigley Field!" Go Cubs

Subject: Arrived in Chicago

On the ground in Chicago for WS. I have seen a few of the staff and coaches at the airport and hotel who I have the privilege of working with in Cubs organization. It will be really nice to see so many of them, who live across this wonderful country and around the world, this weekend. I believe the Cubs, without a doubt, are the best organization in baseball from top to bottom. The leadership is just so caring and encouraging and brings everyone together as a very loving family. The entire organization has been so great to me for my three years with them and many people throughout the Cubs have been so helpful and encouraging & really picked me up in 2016 after the passing away of my wife. I am heading out to walk the streets of Chicago and see all the Cub blue! Go Cubs

2016 World Series ⚾️

It is Thursday afternoon Oct. 27, 2016 & I am getting ready to land in Chicago to meet up with many of my wonderful co-workers from the Chicago Cubs. I have been so blessed to work for the Cubs the past three years. I have had many outstanding experiences in and around playing and teaching and coaching baseball but this has definitely been my best overall experience in my 40+ years of college and professional baseball.
I look forward to experiencing on the ground what is happening in the city of Chicago. I absolutely know from just the excitement on this American flight of many fans wearing Cub blue that the excitement of the fans, and certainly the smiles and exuberance of my peers with the Cubs, will make this 2016 World Series experience something very special. Probably a once in a lifetime opportunity and experience.
