How can we speak of vintage WF without mourning the end of daylight-only baseball? I loved a few afternoons with my son John, a beer, a dog and a cigar. priceless afternoons.
Those pictures may be 35 or 40 years old. Those men may be around 25 in the pics and 60 - 65 now. It's not the job, it's not the sun, it's simply time.

I wonder if they have absorbed the stench of piss and Old Style like the rest of the stadium has

Gotta say, Mike's hair really hung in there better than most folks with that hairline, good for him.

I liked “then” better, before the whole city block turned into something only rich people can enjoy.

This dude abe and a couple other beer guys wrote a book about Wrigley vendors. My dad has it somewhere. They were mostly Jewish guys from nw side

Hot dog price then: 3 for a buck. Hot dog price now: 7 bucks for 1.

$6.49 so a damn fine guess! up this year from $6.25 it's been at a while.

$7? That’s it? I’d have assumed a dog at an MLB park was close to twice that.

Do they still work there? Shoulder straps on a couple lead me to believe that. If so good on Wrigley's field for paying a living wage.

My uncle's dad was pretty famous at the old Metrodome in Minneapolis, Wally the Beer Man.

Isn't your uncle's dad your grandpa?
HUMPTYGUMP
He's married to my mother's sister so he's my uncle but his dad isn't my grandpa.

When websites require info I don’t need or want to give, I too use 1060 W. Addison and the phone # is of course… (312) 588-2300.
