blagojevich and the cubs

Published by kevinryan12 under Games Edit This

So, I was just looking at some of the latest stats on this blog and it seems like there is a lot of interest from people about seeing pictures of Illinois Governor Blagojevich with the Chicago Cubs.  Not really sure why… maybe this has something to do with it.

Anyhow, I posted a few pictures for you all to enjoy.

Here is Blagojevich at the Postseason Rally on 9/30/2008.  I should note that he was booed at this event, but not as badly as Mayor Daley was booed.

Here is Blagojevich at the last Cubs home game in 2007.  He threw out the ceremonial first pitch on 9/23/07 against the Pittsburgh Pirates.  Blago was also booed upon being announced:

I also met Blago after a Cubs/Cardinals game on April 22, 2007.  We crossed paths on our way out of Wrigley Field and he shook my hand.  Here is a picture of him on his way out:
