CHICAGO — The shade — under the roof and the upper deck, in every dugout and tunnel — was a popular place at Wrigley Field on Sunday.
The sunny seats, not so much.
Several major league teams played through a second straight day of muggy conditions as dangerously hot temperatures dominated parts of the United States during a June heat wave.
The PGA Tour was in a sweltering Connecticut for the Travelers Championship, and the LPGA played the KPMG Women's PGA Championship in the heat of Texas.
Brady Vale, of Ellington, Connecticut, was sweating through his shirt, with a water bottle in each hand, while he waited in a line at a free hydration station at the Travelers. He had been at the course in Cromwell, Connecticut, about four hours.
''It's getting me real tired, a little dehydrated,'' he said.
Rick and Cathy Gregory of Farmington, Connecticut, have been to the Travelers tournament before, but this seemed different.
''I think this year the heat came on quickly,'' he said. ''So it's a bit more of a shock to the system, even though in the past it's been hot.''
