The Cubs vs the Detroit Tigers. Due to wartime travel restrictions, the first three games were played in Detroit, the Cubs winning Games 1 and 3. The Series then shifted to the Windy City, to the corner of Clark and Addison, where the Tigers roared back to take Games 4 and 5. Hank Borowy, who had pitched five innings as the starter in Game 5 and four innings of relief in Game 6, was the Cubs starter in Game 7. You're on the aisle, in field level seats behind the third base dugout.

That's No. 44, Hammerin' Hank Aaron, at bat. Ernie Banks is at short. Night games at Wrigley are a long way off. The Yankees had won the first two games in New York, and Cubs fans, who tormented Ruth from the moment he arrived in the Windy City, are really letting him have it now. So, with the count at 2-2, Ruth raises his right arm, points and shouts something, although no one can hear what he says.
