Jaime Navarro of the Chicago Cubs, left, hoses down fans in the Wrigley Field bleachers during batting practice prior to Friday's game against the the Cincinnati Reds. Few of the fans complained, instead welcoming the makeshift shower. Meanwhile, the Reds' Eddie Taubensee, above, grabs a fan of a different sort in his attempts to cool off in the dugout. Game-time temperatures hovered around the 100-degree mark - and the average game-time temperature for all of Friday's Major League games starting before 8 p.m. MST was 97 degrees. The Reds beat the heat as well as the Cubs, 5-4. See Page D2 for more baseball coverage.
