  • Reign Men Taps Into a Compelling Oral History of Game 7 in the 2016 World Series
    Reign Men taps into a compelling oral history of Game 7 in the 2016 World Series. Talking Cubs heads all top CSN Chicago producers need in riveting ‘Reign Men’ By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Thursday, March 23, 2017 Some of the most riveting TV can be a bunch of talking heads. The best example is enjoying multiple airings on CSN Chicago, the first at 9:30 p.m. Monday, March 27. When a one-hour documentary combines Theo Epstein and his Merry Men of Wrigley Field, who can talk as good a game as they play, with the video skills of world-class producers Sarah Lauch and Ryan McGuffey, you have a must-watch production. We all know “what” happened in the Game 7 Cubs victory of the 2016 World Series that turned from potentially the most catastrophic loss in franchise history into its most memorable triumph in just a few minutes in Cleveland. Now, thanks to the sublime re- porting and editing skills of Lauch and McGuffey, we now have the “how” and “why” through the oral history contained in “Reign Men: The Story Behind Game 7 of the 2016 World Series.” Anyone with sense is tired of the endless shots of the 35-and-under bar crowd whooping it up for top sports events. The word here is gratuitous. “Reign Men” largely eschews those images and other “color” shots in favor of telling the story. And what a tale to tell. Lauch and McGuffey, who have a combined 20 sports Emmy Awards in hand for their labors, could have simply done a rehash of what many term the greatest Game 7 in World Series history.

    Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago Allison Fore Public and Intergovernmental Affairs Officer 312.751.6633 [email protected] Press Release 100 East Erie Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611 For immediate release October 28, 2016 It might…It could be…It is… flowing to O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant Holy Cow, O’Brien WRP receives World Series, Wrigley Field flow Any Wrigley Field beer vendor or Wrigleyville bar owner can tell that sales in recent weeks have spiked to unrivaled proportions during the Cubs’ historic trek to the World Se- ries. But what’s flowing in the pipes below Wrigley Field can really tell the story. The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) treats hundreds of millions of gallons of wastewater at its O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant (WRP) in Skokie. Stormwater and sewage from Wrigley Field and neighborhoods north of Fullerton Avenue drain into local sewers before traveling north for treatment at the O’Brien WRP. Although treatment plant operators have not seen a significant spike in the amount of inflow or trends in sewer elevation, all hands are on deck as the Cubs play their first home World Series games since 1945 this weekend. “We are happy to support our Cubs and their fans as they take another step closer to a celebration 108 years in the making,” said MWRD Commissioner Debra Shore. “Much like a sacrifice bunt, we at the MWRD are happy to play a role that is not recognized in the stat sheets or score cards. At the MWRD, we are confident we can keep up with the hundreds of thousands of Cubs (and Indians) fans throng- ing Wrigley Field and Wrigleyville who all deserve good service.” Wrigley Field.

INTRODUCTION What is professional baseball? It is difficult to answer this ques- tion without using a value-laden term which, in effect, tells us more about the speaker than about the subject. Professional baseball may be described as a "sport,"' our "national pastime,"2 or a "busi- ness."3 Use of these descriptors reveals the speaker's judgment as to the relative importance of professional baseball to American soci- ety. Indeed, all of the aforementioned terms are partially accurate descriptors of professional baseball.
