Wrigleyville Rooftops Can Go To Hell
Wrigley Field turns 100 years old in 2014. It is the second oldest stadium in MLB behind Fenway Park which turned 100 in 2012. Wrigley is the only stadium probably in any sport that is smack dab in the middle of a neighborhood. It is definitely the only stadium that is so entrenched into a…

Baseball HOF Voting: Every Year There’s At Least 1 DBag
