25 years ago today, the Cubs turned on the lights for the first time.
I was there, producing a live radio show for Steve and Garry. We were broadcasting from the parking lot across the street from Murphy's. I remember it well: the party atmosphere, the long list of luminaries in attendance, and that it doesn't even officially count as the first night game because it was rained out.
I only made it to a few games a year when I was with Steve & Garry (the show was on from 2:30pm to 7pm), so I remember all of those games pretty well, but this one was special.
Even if it doesn't count.
