There are now pieces of the destroyed World Trade Center and Sydney Opera House.
The placement of the ballpark bricks coincides with the Cubs-White Sox "Crosstown Classic" series. This is the big baseball event in Chicago since neither team usually gets to the playoffs or World Series. The Cubs took two of three at Comiskey Park this past weekend and the final tally for all six games (three were previously played at Wrigley Field) is 3-3.
It is so much better than the "Crosstown Series" before interleague play began when minor league players were brought up, now we get to see the regulars playing.
"Fittingly, given the locations of Wrigley Field and Comiskey Park (which was replaced in 1991 by what is now called U.S. Cellular Field), the Wrigley brick will go on the north side of the arched entrance to Tribune Tower and the old Comiskey brick will occupy the south side." I quoted this as I do not use the new Comiskey Park name. It is still Comiskey Park to me and always will be.
It is said the space between will keep the fans of the two teams apart. Of interest, both parks were designed by the same architect, Zachary Taylor Davis.
I'll touch the Comiskey brick. I won't say what I'll do with the Wrigley one.
