I've wanted this really badly for a while. It would give a nice boost to the ambiance of the place. I don't see a reason not to have this.

Setlist has sucked arse for the last 13 years or so since they “updated” it. I’d settle for them going back to the pre-2012 or so setlist.

And for the love of God bring back the “Buuum bum bum bum buuuuum bum bum bum buuuuuum” organ lick they would play at the old Box when LSU got out of the inning. No idea why they got rid of that.

I’ve been bitching about that for 15 years. Why the hell did they stop playing that.

Not to hijack, but I really wish they would upgrade the batters eye as well

This is a great idea. The organist in Omaha was awesome to listen to and really added to the atmosphere

As a Cubs fan you will be let down by anyone but this legend



Pressy is a great part of the Wrigley experience. For those who have never been to Wrigley nothing beat him playing that organ. What a traditional baseball experience that brought you back to the 40's/50's.

Believe me, I know. There are a few other really good ones still. I prefer the atmosphere of an MLB game for this reason.

Wrigley, with the Barber Shop Quartet outside, Pressy on organ, and one of these watching BP and warm ups, can not be beaten ! He's gone but not forgotten.

Back in the day Skip had an organist, but Skip let him go as a cost savings measure.

I think his name was Kenny Kleinpeter, but I could be wrong.

How does "Calling Baton Rouge" sound on the organ?

You know Elton John could play the hell out of a piano! But he sucked on the organ

Organs at baseball games freaking rule. CWS has one that I got to enjoy for all 3 games of the 2023 finals. Dude that played was awesome. He played both old and modern songs and they all sounded great. Was kinda fun to figure out what song he was playing. Would be awesome to have one at the box

Ever since the marketing department took over the music and such it’s gone downhill. They need to put Franques back in charge of it.

They don’t even play Centerfield and Glory Days anymore. Now it’s just new age shite.

You lost all credibility at this. The Cubs fricking suck. Joke of a franchise.
