Heatwave

This day in 1995 was the hottest day in Chicago history. It reached 106 degrees at Midway.

And yes, the Cubs were playing a day game at Wrigley.

Exactly 18 years earlier they were playing a night game during a New York City heatwave when the lights went out during the game. It was the beginning of the NYC Blackout.
