La Porte Man a Wrigley Post Season Fixture

(La Porte, IN) - A La Porte man was back at Wrigley Field Wednesday night for Game 3 in the playoffs between the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers.

 

Dave Pendergast was also there with his wife, Rhonda, when the Cubs facing elimination held on to win 4 to 3.

 

“It was a fabulous game. It was a very, very, very fun evening,” Pendergast said.

 

The longtime Cubs season ticket holder also has tickets for the entire post season and went to the two previous playoff games at Wrigley Field against the San Diego Padres.

 

Pendergast, a retired financial advisor, was at Wrigley Field during the post season in 2016 when the Cubs won the World Series for the first time in over 100 years.  He said the Cubs winning the remaining games to advance won’t be easy, but like most Cubs fans, he is optimistic.

 

If the Cubs tie the series Thursday night, the deciding game will be played on Saturday in Milwaukee.

 

Pendergast, who once served on the La Porte City Council, is currently a member of the La Porte Park Foundation Board.
