If you're living in Chicago, chances are, baseball is a part of your life this summer. Whether you're a Cubs fan or a Sox fan, or just trying to avoid enthusiastic fans on the train, it's hard not to notice that the pennant race is heating up! And, with both teams currently in first place in their respective divisions, it's even more exciting this year...

 

But, did you know that on August 11, 1929, Babe Ruth became the first baseball player to hit 500 home runs in his career with a home run at League Park in Cleveland, Ohio? Just a little fun fact you can break out as you're sitting in the Cell tonight cheering for the Sox's against Boston!
