Reply #26: Long story as to why I'm an aberration, but

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

suffice it to say, my mother, born and raised on the South Side, and please refer to it that way, was a Cub fan as well.

Back in the 60's, Mom would take me and my brother Tom, who BTW was a Yankee fan, where that came from we never figured out, up to Wrigley on Fridays during summer vacation for Ladies Day. She would always get us seats behind the Cubs dugout and I grew up watching some of the greatest baseball players that ever played the game, beat the living shit out of the Cubs.

But then came the infamous 1969 season and I fell for the mystique that are and still continue to be the Chicago Cubs. I've lived and died through all the years my beloved Cubs came so close, but tonight is about the fact that a Chicago team, with all the bad karma and curses, etc have finally after 88 years won a World Series.

I love my Cubs and always will, but I love the City of Chicago more and if out-of-towners have a problem with our attitude, too bad!!!
