No one could have predicted alarm testing at the new Ryan Field would ruffle so many feathers.

It's where we go to mourn our dead, learn about previous generations and contemplate our own mortality. 🪦💀
Some have been well cared for and others have been fraught with decay.

Chicago Media Report: In 1992, Mike Ditka made The Score, then a daytime-only station at 820 AM, the sports talk of the town — and Schwinn documentary hits Chicago film fest chicagotribune.com/2026/10/1…
Who or what do you want to be for Halloween? 🎃💀🐈⬛

An 8-year-old girl was abducted near her South Side home and found murdered in a ravine a few hours later in November 1960.
This year, CPD detectives cleared the case. The girl's murderer was a 24-year-old CPD officer who worked for the dept. until 1987.

ESPN 1000 is a must-listen today. They had such a good relationship with Ditka over the past 20 years. @WaddleandSilvy and @TWaddle87 (who just talked with @carmendefalco and @Jurko64) especially.

Mike Ditka led the '85 Chicago Bears to Super Bowl XX victory. Also, a Pro Football HOF tight end, popular pitchman + broadcaster, Arena Football League team owner, potential Republican candidate + idol of “Saturday Night Live” Super Fans + Grabowskis

1/2 Playoff fever started on this date in 1908: in wake of Merkle Game, Cubs defeat Giants, 4-2, before record crowd at Polo Grounds. Matty starts game against Jack Pfiester, who is relieved by winner Three Finger Brown.

Ten years ago, after the Cubs won their first World Series in 108 years, Sports Illustrated imitated Sporting Life.
Sometimes I strike out in the Chicago Tribune (@chicagotribune) archives and can't find the print photos that I'm looking for. Plan B: Find the negatives!
Take, for example, "The Great One" Wayne Gretzky's (@WayneGretzky) 1st NHL game.
