June 16--Monday night was supposed to be 7-year-old Angelo Delhierro's first Cubs game.
The soon-to-be second-grader from El Paso, Texas, had been planning to see the game at Wrigley Field with his dad, Gabriel Delhierra, who attends pharmacy school at Roosevelt University's Schaumburg campus.
Angelo and his father rode their bikes to the ballpark from the father's Old Town home Monday afternoon. But the game was postponed because of severe storms, and workers closed the gates where the two had been standing under an awning waiting for the rain to clear.
"This kind of stinks because he was so adamant on coming," said Delhierra, who got his son a Cubbie blue poncho. "We came here to watch the baseball game and the hockey game because they advertised they were gonna put it on the big screen. So I was really hyping him up."
Like many of the baseball fans who had tickets to the Cubs-Indians game, the two looked for somewhere in Wrigleyville to watch the Blackhawks game.
The Cubs said the baseball game will be made up Aug. 24.
The Cubs now have four makeup games: July 7 vs. St. Louis (as part of a split-doubleheader), July 22 at Cincinnati (DH), Aug. 24 vs. Cleveland and Sept. 28 vs. Kansas City.
