Bruce, thanks for joining us.

It was an interesting story that was put out earlier today about security bollards and security around Wrigley Field being stepped up.

What's the reason behind that? Well, our breaking news is that the Chicago

Cubs will be named the recipient of the 2007 All-Star game after what you talked about, Lawrence,

here happening. And that is the final thing that the Chicago Cubs needed to do for Major League Baseball and Major League Baseball security,

is to get these concrete dollars, which are going to cost the Cubs, the City of Chicago, and the state of Illinois,

$30 million to put up, to be able to be the host and have a secure,

what Major League Baseball and their security feels

as a secure ballpark for an event like the All-Star Game.

Breaking news on the score is brought to you by Wildfire.

Well, that's pretty exciting, Bruce.

The All-Star game at Wrigley Field in 2027, according to our Bruce Levine, when a ballpark

is renovated, oftentimes the owners, especially if it's in a sizable market, if the owners

have put in a lot of their own money, which the Cubs did. The owners get

rewarded with an All-Star game. We've seen that play out around the league. Is this something

that would have happened earlier, had the security issue not been in place, perhaps?

No question. Maybe 10 years ago. When we're talking about, you know, this thing getting done.
