Go Cubs Go!

That was fun to read the "108" stuff
-
Lou Boudreau was both the manager and star player of the 1948 Indians team but I remember him as a Cubs announcer. Checking his bio I see he was born in Harvey, IL and played basketball at the U of I. His final management job was with the 1960 Cubs. Jason Kipnis is the player on the current Indians team with strong Chicago/Cubs connections. My parents lived in Akron in 1949 and would attend Indians games on "Ladies Day."

Of course my pick is Chicago! Deep dish is your favorite pizza, ice cold winters make you stronger and 108 year World Series droughts? Man, those are nothing to you.

108 years for The Cubs and 68 years since The Indians have won The World Series. Based on that, I will give 108 woots for The Cubs and 68 woots for The Indians. Thomas Edison was still alive when The Cubs last won and pre-sliced bread hadn't been invented yet.

There is a Cubs fan who was born before the 1908 championship. http://www.wsj.com/articles/keeping-faith-for-the-cubs-at-108-years-old-1477599538?mod=e2tw

^^ Can't read that article without signing up. But yikes! 108 years old. Hope she can stay awake for the game! On the local news right now at 6:30 am they have a news crew in a local bar & are giving out prizes. I can't imagine the crowds that will be there tonight. I heard that they hired an extra 1000 policemen.

Were you looking for a ticket? I bet they could sell the standing space OUTSIDE the park!
