Spotted the non-Cubs fan. Fairly certain that basket isn't as strong as they think it is.

I thought that too but then I saw Theo lay in it, and then considered it may be sturdier than I thought.

But Theo is a twig, though. If I were to climb on that thing, it's gonna strain for sure.

That's a lot of trust in the basket.

One fan at Wrigley Field was determined to bring home a souvenir. So determined in fact, that the fan fell into the basket above the warning track to grab a home run ball during Cubs-Royals on Monday night. www.nytimes.com/athletic/650...

As long as he gathered himself and then threw it back, it's all good. #Cubs
