Category: 2007 Cubs Convention

Big news in the Alfonso Soriano household… he’s a daddy again. Angel Soriano was born last Wednesday. He’s the third child in the family.

Speaking of Soriano, good news for Cubs fans… the Missus will let Alfonso off of diaper duty for the weekend of January 19-21 so he can attend the Cubs Convention.

Christmas came early for The Baseball Zealot. I got my Cubs Convention tickets in the mail.

Of course, I didn’t get them through the normal channels. Try as I might, the tickets sold out in 12 minutes the day they went on sale. No, I bought these on Ebay. Luckily, I didn’t pay too much over retail price.

Didn’t they have a good photo of Piniella with a Cubs hat on yet? Then why cut him off at the forehead hiding the team logo? That’s my theory.

Update: I’ve been asked who exactly will be at the Cubs Convention this year. According to Cubs beat reporter Carrie Muskat, they won’t announce that till the Sunday before the convention.

 

 

Dang. I spent a half hour this morning pushing redial trying to get a ticket to the Cubs Convention in January. By 10:30, the voice mail announced that all tickets had been sold and a similar message had been posted on their website:

Weekend passes for the 2007 Cubs Convention
are SOLD OUT.

Maybe next year. Typical rant of a Cub fan.
