You’re fortunate. I’ve been suffering with the Cubs for decades! Expecting good things from the Bears tho. Bulls, big question mark.

I grew up south of Chicago...my first Cub game was ‘62...

I'm a born and bred 'sout sider' :-), not 'too far' from Comiskey by car. Unlike some die-hard Sox fans I don't hate the Cubs and do like seeing them win - it's good for the entire Chi Metro Area.

I've even been in the 'Friendly Confines' a few times. I think '62 may have been the first time for me too, a Cubs - Cardinals game that got rained out. Then once when my HS played for the Public HS League City Championship in '66, that got rained out too. We WON the next day at Comiskey Park, the day before I graduated. Then a couple times for Business -- I'd take Draftsman from our Engineering Dept as a little 'thanks guys' gesture (Company had season tickets when Harry Carey was w/ the Cubs. The 'Big Boss' was buds w/ Harry).

And I felt really bad for the Cubs with the 'Steve Bartman incident'. I was kinda crushed too.
