No beer in Wrigleyville: A seventh inning stretch?

Bars and restaurants around Wrigley Field will be asked to stop serving alcohol after the seventh-inning stretch—just as they do inside the ballpark—to prevent Cubs playoff celebrations from turning ugly.

Ray Orozco, executive director of the city’s Office of Emergency Management and Communications, said the proposed seventh-inning cutoff—discussed at a playoff security meeting Monday—would occur “only if it’s a clinch game.” Liquor sales could resume once the game is over, he said.

Yeah, like this is gonna happen. If it does, Al Capone will probably rise from the grave and run a Wrigleyville Speak-Easy.
