.C. Lions has come to an end. Banks told TSN on Jan 2 that he had no interest in
playing out the option year of his contract with the Lions in 2014, and he again
made that clear in a conversation with Lions GM Wally Buono last week. One of
the best things about being a season-ticket holder is getting to know the people
who work at Wrigley Field. If you sit in the same seats, year after year, you
build relationships with security workers, ushers and vendors. Folks who get
jobs at Wrigley Field tend to keep them.Now that the Cubs are back in the
postseason, I look forward to discussing the playoffs with two Wrigley workers
in particular.If youre headed up to Section 416, the odds are good that you will
run into my favorite beer vendor at her stand on the mezzanine level at the top
of Aisle 211. She stands out not just for the quick and efficient way she does
her job, serving up cold ones and changing empty kegs in five seconds flat.
Because of her, Cubs fans who come to watch the major leaguers at Wrigley can
get their beer from another world-class athlete; when shes not tending to
thirsty customers at the Friendly Confines, my pal is better known as roller
derby star Val Capone.Currently a member of the Chicago Red Hots, and a two-time
Ivy King Cup-winner for being champion of Chicagos Windy City Rollers league,
Val also coaches the U.S. mens national roller derby team, and is working to get
the game into the Olympics.She does all of that while slinging suds not only at
Wrigley, but also at the United Center during Bulls and Blackhawks tilts.Val has
worked at Wrigley for 11 years, and grew up in Wrigleyville as an ardent Cubs
fan, which makes her work personal. I still get chills, she says of arriving at
the ballpark on game days, thinking to herself: I work here!Her goal as a vendor
is straightforward: For many visiting fans, this is a once-in-a-lifetime
experience, and Im here to make it awesome. She loves being part their memory,
and if you hang out by her stand for a while, youll see her direct fans seeking
a particular beer to a fellow vendor rather than trying to up-sell them on her
higher-end brands. Given that vendors work for commission and tips -- You make
what you sell, as she puts it -- its clearly not all about her pocketbook.Vals
lifetime highlight at Wrigley -- The happiest day of my life, she says -- was
singing the seventh-inning stretch with Drew Barrymore in 2009. The movie star
was in Chicago to promote her roller-derby film Whip It, which Val consulted on.
A picture of that moment can be seen as her twitter avatar (@valcapone). For
her, the only thing greater would be a Cubs World Series.With the playoffs still
to come, 2016 already has been packed with highlights for Val. The whole season
has been an overflowing wealth of awesome, she says. All of it.Val even comes to
the games on her off days, as she splits season tickets with a friend. What will
happen if the Cubs are still playing at the end of October? Will she work or
take her seat?Val will be behind the stick, and her father will have her
seat.That, my friends, is family values.Card tricks in the upper deckThen theres
Leo, a guest services ambassador -- aka, an usher -- in the upper
deck.ddddddddddddriginally from Cleveland and an Indians fan, Leo -- whose real
name is Stan Klein, but who goes by Leo while working at Wrigley -- adopted the
Cubs as his team after sitting with Bill Veeck in the center-field bleachers in
the 80s. Leo bought a beer for the former White Sox owner (and the man who
planted the ivy at Wrigley when his father was Cubs GM), and Veeck regaled Leo
and other bleacher creatures with insider details about players and the park,
bringing Leo into the Cubs fan fold.Leo is a Renaissance man: An actor and
artist, he manages Firecat Studios, an art gallery in Bucktown, along with noted
Chicago artist, writer, actor (and White Sox fan) Tony Fitzpatrick. Leo also
works as an usher at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, pretty much covering all of
the citys cultural bases.What sets him apart is a bit of performance art he does
before and during every game he works. Beyond just helping people find their
seats and gently keeping the aisles clear of loiterers, Leo gives fans of the
opposing teams baseball cards featuring their teams players.Why?Its a great way
to greet visiting fans, families and patrons, he says, and points out that the
Cubs promotional giveaways are all, naturally, aimed at Cubs fans; he wants
visitors to feel welcome. It promotes the game and its history as well. Little
kids get a card, and their dad recalls that player, and it starts a dialogue
about the game and its history. It also introduces modern youngsters to baseball
cards themselves, beloved hands-on analog artifacts many have never seen
before.While Leo would love to cut a deal with Topps or another card company,
that hasnt happened yet; he gets his stock at flea markets and garage sales, and
donations from fans. Several other upper-deck ushers have joined him in this
project, and he gives away between 200 and 300 cards every game. Some travel
agents and school groups even contact him in advance to request a certain number
of cards, as his generous gesture has become part of the Wrigley experience for
their annual trips to the corner of Clark and Addison.An unexpected gift at an
unplanned time is the best thing you can do for somebody, he says, after handing
cards to several children -- and their accompanying grown-ups -- wearing
Pittsburgh Pirates T-shirts.Leos 2016 highlight? While heading for his bike
after one day game, he ran into pitcher Kyle Hendricks, the current MLB ERA
leader. Hendricks lives within walking distance of Wrigley, and he and Leo
chatted about neighborhood restaurants as they walked down Waveland. Hes just a
nice guy, Leo says.The downside to his job? The cold in April and, hopefully,
October, he says.But hell take it. I can bear it in October, no problem.
