It Could Glow All the Way

Glow-in-the-Dark Cubs Thong

With the Crosstown Classic this weekend, you’re going to need a lot more than your megawatt smile and undeniable charm to lure your Northside honey away from the game.

We have just the thing to knock him out of the park: a glow-in-the-dark Cubs thong. The 100 percent cotton unmentionable has a blue-and-red walking-bear logo on the front and back. It’s surprisingly comfortable, and with a good hold-it-up-to-the-bulb charging, it’s sure to stay aglow through the fourth inning.

What base you get to in that time frame, well, that’s presumably up to you.

Available at Wrigleyville Sports, 959 West Addison Street, between Sheffield and Wilton Avenues (630-694-8566); Marshall Field’s State Street, 111 North State Street, between Randolph and Washington Streets, lower level (312-781-3800); or online at wrigleyvillesport.com.
