The press box at Wrigley Field in Chicago is an
extended narrow shed, two rows deep, that is
precariously bolted to the iron rafters just
underneath the park's second deck. To gain access,
one must climb a steeply angled ramp and clamber
down a little starboard companionway, guarded at
its foot by a uniformed minion and then proceed
giddily along a catwalk that hangs directly above
the tiered, circling rows of seats and spectators
behind home plate.
Seen from this vantage point, the preoccupied fans
below sometimes suggest a huddled, uncomplaining
horde of immigrants stuffed into steerage on some
endless voyage toward better luck-not an
inappropriate image if we remind ourselves that
this famous rustbucket, the good ship Cubbie, last
dropped anchor in the shining harbor of the World
Series in 1945 .
