My closest was Wrigley Field

And between minor league and major league baseball I have been to hundreds of games (went to lots of Tides games when I lived in that area) and I have not even caught a minor league one. It was four of us at the Cubs game and one guy is so hung over he gets up and leaves so we all ended up moving around seats some.... and the ball landed right where I was sitting before.
