Ferris Bueller Watched Cubs at Wrigley Field 10,000 Days Ago

Every generation has some iconic movies, and today marks a "day-sary" in the life of one of them. Never seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off? This is one of those movies that apparently everyone my age (except me) has seen. Well, it turns out that the school Ferris Bueller day was 10,000 days.

Oh, there is a tie in baseball, by the way. In fact, it is thanks to researchers baseball writer (eg THT) Larry Granillo Bueller we know it was the big day. You see, part of the activities of the school all jump attending a Cubs game at Wrigley Field. Granillo said there was too much information and game play in the game as a hobby simple. It was a real game.

Granillo said several clues in the game to determine when true day was Ferris Bueller. It was a game the Cubs, Braves, and he must have been in 1985. The only game that fits all brands in the movie was June 5, 1985.

Lee Smith for the Braves that day (as seen in the film). When you see # 10 portfolios Atlanta Chicago corridor No. 18 in first is Leon Durham and Paul Zuvella. Oh, and when Ferris catches a foul ball, hit by Claudell Washington.

It was a Wednesday. Cubs at the time were the champions of the Eastern Division and are looking to repeat. When the game started, Chicago finished second, one game behind the Mets with a record of 29-18. The Cubs lost that game to the Braves 11 rounds (with the winning run scored shortly after Ferris took the ball foul), but the Mets also lost.

Unfortunately for the Cubs and fortune, things were about to implode. Cub pitching staff all went with injuries at the same time, and exactly one week after Bueller reached the ends, tie Chicago started a franchise-record 13 defeats. Days suitors were completed and the Cubs finished below .500. Call it the curse Bueller.

As for the Braves, who had a bad season. The win put their record to a poor 20-29 mark as they walked their way to a 66-96 season unhappy. This is worse than 14 games for the 80-82 mark that manager Joe Torre was canned last year. In this Year of the fortune, the Braves did not even wait for the season to dismiss his captain, dumping new boss Eddie Haas at the end of August, which gives a number of days off.

10000 days have passed, and somehow, the game shows how things have changed. Hall of Fame reliever Bruce Sutter entered the game in a non-save situation and lasted three innings. Atlanta bullpen threw five innings in the day, but use only two total sedatives. When was the last time you saw that?

The Cubs have also used his relief in a situation of non-registration, that Smith has come to launch in 11. Output only handle because Scott Sanderson starting lasted a total of 10 images. The Cubs had a pitcher not last as long as six times since then, most recently in 1990, when Mike Bielecki done. A pitcher who has done against the Braves only three times since the game Bueller.

The game had a Hall of Fame Sutter and two men are still on the ballot in Cooperstown, Smith and Dale Murphy Atlanta outfielder. Sometimes I Bueller saw probably the worst game of Murphy's career, or at least one of the worst, since Murphy was 0-for-5 with four strikeouts. It was only three career games with four strikeouts, no hits, and at least five at-bats. Another came just five days later, when he was 0-for-8 against the Giants, but at least Murphy scored in this regard. Despite his bad days, Murphy would beat the league with 37 homers and 90 walks on the season while stick .300.

Two future leaders appeared in the game, Larry Bowa and Davey Lopes, both play for the Cubs. Also presented for the radio announcer for Chicago Cubs Keith Moreland was now.

Ryne Sandberg was not in the game. Apparently, it sounded earlier this month and was in the middle of a seven-game series, he has not played. It was the longest period outside the grounds of the 1982 Open mid-June 1987. In other words, Ferris Bueller's Day took place during the week of Ryne Sandberg Off. But both were apparently Wrigley Field June 5, 1985, there are 10,000 days.

Apart from this, many baseball events others have their anniversary or "day-sary" here today, with the high-fat, if we want things go.:
