Hell is truly freezing over, and that hell is Wrigley Field
Not only are the Cubs in first place, but it appears that their ballpark will be getting a New Year's glaze now that the Blackhawks-Red Wings outdoors game has apparently been given the green light by NHL Comissioner Gary Bettman.
According to a report in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the New Year's Day game was finalized last week when Bettman met with the Mayor Richard Daley and representatives from Cubs and Blackhawks.
There had been some last-minute talk of the Rangers' stealing the game for Yankee Stadium.
A formal announcement is expected next week at the "Blackhawks Convention."
Chicago's winters are a lot more brutal than New York's, and there's a pretty good chance they won't have trouble making ice.
And with the wind whipping off Lake Michigan you can expect many fans and players resembling Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, both from the cold and whatever beverages they can sneak into Wrigley.
Ever see "Mystery Alaska?"
Good luck, guys, and wear your long underwear.

Having been to a Cubs game in April, I would recommend bringing a can of sterno to light yourself on fire at this gam. That being said, where do you buy tickets???
