As another World Series goes on without the Cubs, the long-awaited plan to level the playing surface at Wrigley Field finally has begun. Roger Bossard already has hit pay dirt while digging up Wrigley. Bossard, the White Sox's head groundskeeper who is overseeing the project, said one of the bulldozer drivers tearing up the infield grass Thursday was forced to come to a complete stop between home plate and first base. "I think I hit a goal post," the driver told Bossard. Upon further review, the call was deemed correct. Unbeknownst to everyone involved in the Wrigley project, cement blocks surrounding the bottom parts of the old goal posts from Bears games at Wrigley had been buried under the infield at Wrigley for nearly four decades. After the Bears played their final game there on Dec. 13, 1970, they tore down the goal posts but decided not to remove the cement blocks underneath the end zones holding the posts in place, covering them with dirt instead. So what will the Cubs do with these long-lost chunks of Bears history? "They told me to toss them out," Bossard said. -- Chicago Tribune

Interesting idea to toss them out. That would make someone some good money on EBAY.
