In search of the elusive eephus ball (III)
Like many people who grow up in downstate Illinois, as I did, I have a deep-seated, visceral dislike for Chicago and everything associated therewith. (Sorry, Marc and Peter; nothing personal.) Time, maturity, and an appreciation for some of the city's definite pluses have mellowed this dislike somewhat, but haven't eliminated it, and it was therefore with definite misgivings that we included a stop there for baseball watching, even though it had to be done; the city does have two major-league teams, after all.

First things first, a Web Site du Jour that may spare you some of the unpleasantness that we faced on this leg of the trip: http://www.speedtrap.org/, wherein are listed some of the more notorious radar traps on United States highways. Two days of otherwise pleasant busman's-holiday touristing, with a baseball game to top it off, were spoiled by one of these traps, and consequently I have no intention of visiting southwestern Wisconsin ever again.
