Last week for the first time ever, Wrigley Field welcomed a high school team, and it was a high school team from my home State of Iowa. The Oskaloosa High School Indians baseball team--in partnership with Musco Lighting, also from Oskaloosa--were invited to play in an exhibition game at the home field of the Chicago Cubs. After the Cubs played the San Francisco Giants, Musco Lighting company lit up the stadium, and the Indians took to the historic diamond. I imagine it was a dream come true for many, especially those who are Cubs fans. To share in that once-in-a-lifetime experience, the Oskaloosa High School Chamber Choir performed the Star Spangled Banner prior to the Indians' scrimmage game season. What a way to start the season. We can say: Go Indians.
