Nothing brings a community together quite like a good old-fashioned beer snake. Sunday night’s series finale between the Cubs and Cardinals wasn’t a particularly high-scoring affair (Chicago claimed a 2-0 victory in a game that featured just six combined hits, only two of which went for extra bases), but it seems fans were just thankful to be back in the building, throwing back cold ones and fostering creativity with this impromptu art installation in center field. In the background, you can hear ESPN's Matt Vasgersian doing an impression (no doubt influenced by Will Ferrell) of late Cubs announcer Harry Caray.
With historic Wrigley Field finally back operating at full capacity (an occasion the Cubs celebrated by summoning comedy veteran Bill Murray to sing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” Friday afternoon), fans have come flooding in with 35,225 in attendance for Sunday night’s pitcher’s duel between Zach Davies and Carlos Martinez.
It would appear Beer Snake Season is officially in session as beer-consuming spectators in Minnesota constructed a similarly elaborate display at Target Field on Sunday, which for Twins fans was the only good thing to come from a lopsided 14-3 defeat at the hands of visiting Houston.
