Lake in the Hills pair got in line Saturday night hoping for Cubs tickets
The overnight rain took a toll on their Cubs face paint.
And when the cold set in, their wet clothes didn't help.
But Michael Lyp, 44, and daughter Shelly, 12, are in the front of the block-long line to buy face-value tickets from the box office at Wrigley Field, where last-minute tickets are sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
They weren't planning on the endurance test. They drove in from Lake in the Hills on Saturday to be part of the Wrigleyville excitement and on a whim, after realizing they were standing in the spot where the line for tickets formed, they began to wait.
Lyp's wife OK'd it.
As of noon Sunday they'd been in line for 14 hours.
