Of the first night game at Wrigley Field. 8/8/88

With typical Cubbie cache (I can't make that little thing over the e), the game was rained out and played the next day.

The only thing I ever think of when I think of that game is Phil Bradley losing out on a claim to fame....

I believe Kevin Gross started that game for the Phillies. His previous start was 5 days earlier here in St. Louis, and it's Game #3 in my all time game log....

The Today show was getting all worked up on how lucky the Chinese consider 8/8/08 to be and said this only happens once in a hundred years!!!!!. I was thinking what about 8/8/88 wouldn't that be even more lucky?

Of course not, you moron! Don't you know they write the dates backwards over there!
