ESPN and the Wrigley slip and slide

My mom called me on Sunday afternoon to let me know that the Cubs/Cardinals game scheduled to air on ESPN that evening was already postponed. I kept the Tivo recording on ESPN at 7pm just in case they showed something interesting at Wrigley regarding the rainout.
They didn't let me down. They had a great video at the beginning of the telecast of three Cub players using the drenched Wrigley tarp as a slip and slide.
Remember Maddux and two others doing that on 8/8/88?
This was wonderful too, and in HD!
You can see it at the end of this ESPN report:

It wasn't re-aired at the 2am replay of ESPN's Sunday night baseball. They ran a home run derby instead. :(
It wasn't shown on WGN's Sunday night sports report either. That really surprised me.
Comcast Sports Chicago had a different angle of the slip and slide moment...

I hope they'll load these on Youtube someday.
If you missed it, try checking the ESPN baseball shows today and also Comcast's Chicago Tribune Live show and Sportsday shows. It might get rerun there.

I had a chance to ask Greg Maddux about his moment on the Wrigley Field slip and slide but I just ran out of time to ask. Oh well.
Did anyone watch the #31 jersey retirement ceremony on WGN on Sunday?
