Anybody else a baseball nut? What team is your favorite & why?
Im a die-hard Chicago Cub fan, have been for over 30 years. I like abuse. When I started playing little league the Big Red Machine was dominant, I was a Cincinatti Red fan like all my friends, loved (& still love) Pete Rose (let him into the Hall of Fame already) I emulated Rose every chance I got, was chewed out by the coach for going into 3rd base head first (safety issues). We got cable TV in the mid 70's & I was addicted to baseball, all we got were WTBS Braves or WGN CUBS, they both were terrible teams then. I liked Wriggley Field, listened to all the history spewed out by the announcers & was officialy a Cub fan by the time I was 13-14. Its been a rough 30 years for me. My Pop became a big baseball nut late in his life, it was one subject we discussed constantly, even in the dead of winter. Pop was an Angel/Dodger fan & could not understand how I became a lowly Cubbie, him & I went to many Cub/Dodger games together in L.A..........him in Dodger Blue & me proudly wearing pinstripes & my Cub Cap! I have many framed 8x10 autographed pics including Hall of Famers, autographed balls & a large litho of Mr. Cub Ernie Banks that he signed for me at a convention in Los Angeles many years ago. He is one hell of a nice guy! I know you guys will laugh but 2010 is the year my beloved Cubs win the World Series!
