Believe it or not, baseball season is already upon us and in
full swing! Baseball is one of the most popular sports in Chicago, and people
come from all over to enjoy the games.
There are two major league baseball teams which represent Chicago, which
is only true of four metro areas in the U.S.
The Chicago Cubs are
a part of the National League, and they play at Wrigley Field on the north
side. The Cubs have been playing at
Wrigley Field since 1916, but the field is celebrating its 100th
season this year. Actually, they are
hosting a “Party of the Century”, which will take place all year long and
feature throwback uniforms, free gifts, food treats, special guests and more. Though
the Cubs are not exactly known for a great winning record—they have not been to
a World Series game since 1945, to be exact—but that does not stop their
dedicated fans. From its ivy-covered
outfield walls to its old-fashioned bleachers and hand-turned scoreboard,
Wrigley Field provides an old-fashioned, all-American atmosphere for baseball
fans to enjoy. 
The other team, the Chicago White Sox, reign over the south
side. The White Sox are part of the American
League, and their stadium has a much different atmosphere. They play at the U.S. Cellular Field, which has
been and continues to be renovated and improved. It is one of the nicer
ballparks in MLB. The White Sox won the
World Series fairly recently in 2005, which was their first championship win in
88 years. 
Tickets for both teams can be bought online, and the prices are
very reasonable, depending on where you would like to sit. Which Chicago team will you root for?
