Bruce's Journal

Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

A Modern Video Board is Coming to Wrigley Field

I had the pleasure of seeing games at Wrigley Field when we went on the Jay Buckley Baseball Tour in 2006, 2007 and 2010. The first schedule night game at Wrigley was on 8/8/1988. However, it rained that night and the game did not go the required 9 innings to be official. The Mets played in the first completed night game there on 8/9/1988.

This season there will be modernization there as a modern video board is now being constructed there. I guess there are some purist Cub fans who will not like that, but time marches on.
