The first night game at Wrigley Field 8-8-88

515. here is a picture from the first night game ever at Wrigley Field in Chicago on 8-8-88.  I am not sure why I remember this date, but I did.  I also remember that the game was called because of rain before it became an official game.  Therefore, it was actually not the first night game in Wrigley Field history.  Cubs fans said that this was God's way of telling us that there should not be lights at Wrigley Field.

516. there is a town in Kentucky named Eighty Eight, Kentucky.  If I remember correctly, there were a lot of couples were married there on August 8, 1988.
