On a recent Tuesday night, the Chicago Cubs faced off against the Phillies in a game that ended in disappointment for the Cubs. Despite a late rally in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Cubs fell short, ultimately losing to the Phillies. As the final out was recorded, the Cubs organist played the melancholic tune of ‘Tuesday’s Gone’ by Lynyrd Skynyrd, setting the somber tone for fans leaving the stadium.
This season has seen the Cubs struggle to find their footing, with losses piling up and victories becoming increasingly elusive. Following defeats, the organists at Wrigley Field have taken to playing a variety of songs to reflect the mood of the team and its fans. From classic rock to soulful ballads, the music played at the stadium serves as a poignant soundtrack to the highs and lows of each game.
Among the suggested songs to capture the essence of the Cubs’ challenging season is ‘Runaway Train’ by Soul Asylum. The haunting lyrics of the song resonate with the frustration felt by fans as the team faces setbacks and struggles to find its rhythm on the field. Just as the music fills the stadium, so too does the sense of disappointment linger in the air after each defeat.
As Cubs fans navigate the rollercoaster of emotions that come with supporting their team through thick and thin, the music played at Wrigley Field serves as a reminder of the enduring spirit of the game. Whether celebrating victories or mourning losses, the melodies that echo through the ballpark capture the essence of baseball’s timeless appeal.
