Addison Clark, baby

The Chicago Cubs family is growing.

Cubs fans Andria and Carl Corlew of Joliet are the proud parents of a baby girl named Addison Clark for the famous streets around Wrigley Field.

She was born Oct. 27, the morning after the Cubs’ 5-1 win in Game 2 of the World Series, at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove. During the playoffs, the hospital is providing Onesies for the babies.

Addison Clark weighs 7 pounds, 7 ounces, is 19 inches long, and has an older sister, Makena, 14 months.

Living the Cubs life

There is no doubt about it — Katie Ash is a die-hard Cubs fan.

It all started almost six years ago when the Plainfield resident and her husband, Chris, had their first date at Wrigley Field.

“The stadium was hardly even half full. Today, the bleachers are overflowing,” she says on Facebook.

Her August wedding included a red and blue Cubs theme, a baseball cake and her “something blue” Cubs garter.

She named her son Easton after the baseball bat manufacturer, and he donned Cubs gear as a newborn. In his two years, Easton has been to five Cubs games in three different ballparks.

And what kind of fan would Ash be if she didn’t name her dog Wrigley? She did.

“Love this team and all the memories that come with it,” Ash says on Facebook.
