Katie Dobey is back at home at
St. Clara's Manor after her Thursday trip to Wrigley Field. Katie's
seat was right behind home plate, and she said the game was wonderful
although the Cubbies dropped the contest to the Milwaukee Brewers
8-6. Katie's current Cub favorite, Derrek Lee, did hit a homer, and
Katie couldn't stop talking about that.
Katie received an authentic
Chicago Cubs jersey and an autographed 2010 Cubs team baseball as well
as several other souvenirs of her visit. She said it was a thrill when Pat Hughes and Ron Santo said hello
to her on WGN radio during the game.
Katie didn't get to go around
the bases, as by the time she got there, there was a ceremony going
on for Jackie Robinson in honor of the anniversary of Robinson
breaking the color barrier in major league baseball.
Katie said she didn't mind. "He was a really good ballplayer, you
know."
