I had 2 favorite teams growing up in Arlington. The Rangers at night and the Cubs for day games (thanks cable TV and WGN).

It was on this day 35 years ago that night games began at Wrigley Field.

I was actually in a pressbox in the Astrodome during this game. A friend's uncle got us up into one, and it had a TV. We had WGN on the 13" TV in our box, and they were showing highlights on the center field video screen as well. Astros beat the Dodgers 10-0.
