Great pics!
In the summer of 1979 me, my younger brother and some of our friends would take the CNW/Metra commuter train from Glen Ellyn to Northwestern Station in Chicago, walk to the EL, ride it to the Addison Street stop, go watch the Cubs play at Wrigley Field and be back home in time for dinner or in some instances be back in time to play in our own youth league baseball games. Since there were no lights at Wrigley at that time, the Cubs played all day games at home so sometimes we'd go to 3-4 games a week. Both me and my brother had paper routes so were able to afford these excursions.. We were 12-14 year old kids and did this with no adult supervision. We always had a great time, never got into any trouble and saw some good ball players too..Dave Kingman, Johnny Bench and Tom Seaver to name a few. And it sure helped to know the train schedules too.
