Baseball fans heading to the Cubs vs. Sox series beginning Monday, May 27, still have convenient and affordable bus and train service to get them to and from the games. The games at U.S. Cellular Field are scheduled for Monday, May 27 at 6:10 p.m. and Tuesday, May 28 at 7:10 p.m. Games at Wrigley Field are scheduled for Wednesday, May 29 at 1:20 p.m. and Thursday, May 30 at 1:20 p.m. 
This year marks the 15th anniversary of the CTA Crosstown Series commemorative posters. Since the program began in 1998, the commemorative posters designed by Chicago artist Steve Musgrave have become a one-of-a-kind collectible item for fans. Musgrave also has several murals featuring Cubs legends on display at the Addison station, which he adopted as part of the CTA's Adopt-A-Station program in 1998.
Posters will be distributed at the 35th-Bronzeville-IIT Red/Green Line station on Monday and Tuesday and at the Addison Red Line station on Wednesday and Thursday. Posters will be distributed approximately 90 minutes prior to the first pitch of each game while supplies last.
