RedEye does #oldtimeywrigley
RedEye reporter, Mick Swasko, live Tweets the Cubs' home opener 100 years after Wrigley Field opened its doors. There's a twist: Swasko will be Tweeting as if he time traveled from the first opening day to today's.

The motor-horses, plastic coins and moving picture screens? I can handle those. Seeing a lady's knee? Bunk. #oldtimeywrigleyby Mick via twitter 4/4/2014 5:46:54 PM

Beer costs as much as my monthly income. Gent behind me offered a sipper of "Captain Morgan." His name is Brent. #oldtimeywrigleyby Mick via twitter 4/4/2014 6:07:05 PM

Did these fellas run out of smokes? Get that Barney gentleman a cigar. #oldtimeywrigleyby Mick via twitter 4/4/2014 6:08:21 PM

Hey lady three rows up! This gentleman is singing our anthem. Not a time to take a photograph of yourself. #oldtimeywrigleyby Mick via twitter 4/4/2014 6:12:15 PM

Brent still has his cap on, taking generous sips of his "Old Style" during the anthem. #oldtimeywrigleyby Mick via twitter 4/4/2014 6:13:16 PM

Now we can imbibe. Where is the Manhattan vendor? #oldtimeywrigleyby Mick via twitter 4/4/2014 6:14:44 PM

When it opened, Wrigley Field was called Weeghman Park. It was renamed in April 1916. #oldtimeywrigleyby Christopher Sosa via twitter 4/4/2014 6:17:33 PM -
I can see a lot of Brent's gal's chest. Good thing I wore loose trousers and drank some "Captain Morgan." #oldtimeywrigleyby Mick via twitter 4/4/2014 6:19:27 PM

Also, "ass" means something very different around here, I am learning. #oldtimeywrigleyby Mick via twitter 4/4/2014 6:20:23 PM

Man in a bright yellow vest old me there's no smoking here. Not even a cigar. #oldtimeywrigleyby Mick via twitter 4/4/2014 6:24:04 PM

Apparently great-grandfather lost eight toes in the Civil War so we could not smoke at a Baseball match. #oldtimeywrigleyby Mick via twitter 4/4/2014 6:26:08 PM

Apparently there's an entire club dedicated to "Captain Morgan" at this park. Brent's gal is in it. #oldtimeywrigleyby Mick via twitter 4/4/2014 6:27:46 PM

Brent said his lady "Jamie" sometimes serves liquor at the club. #oldtimeywrigley http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BkZdgS8CIAE6inc.jpg

Jamie is very fond of that "Captain Morgan." Brent is raising his voice about purchasing more. #oldtimeywrigleyby Mick via twitter 4/4/2014 6:33:30 PM

Charlie Weeghman, the original owner of the ballpark, had a stable under the third-base pavilion for his horse. #oldtimeywrigleyby Christopher Sosa via twitter 4/4/2014 6:46:59 PM

Weeghman's horse pulled the lawn mower during the day and got the run of the field at night. #oldtimeywrigleyby Christopher Sosa via twitter 4/4/2014 6:51:02 PM

I was in the washroom for that score. This stadium has bathroom I heard about from my great-grandfather. #oldtimeywrigleyby Mick via twitter 4/4/2014 6:53:15 PM
