Who could forget coming home from school and listening to Bert Wilson or Bob Elson on the radio?  What about watching Jack Brickhouse on television or Harry Caray announcing the play-by-play? Bergnach will recall playing days of Luke Appling, Hack Wilson, Minnie Minoso, Ted Lyons, Nellie Fox and many more unforgettable Chicago baseball legends. He will also tell stories of old Comiskey Park and hallowed Wrigley Field and lead a chorus of spirited baseball songs.

 

Bergnach’s nostalgic look at baseball—where even diehard fans may learn something new about their favorite team—is just one of the variety of programs and activities presented by The Summit of Uptown.  Guests are encouraged to arrive early or stay late for tours of the newly renovated retirement community.  Parking is always available in the City’s central parking lot and the Uptown lot across the street. For a list of other entertaining events at The Summit of Uptown which has been providing quality services to seniors for more than 30 years, visit www.summitofuptown.com.
