| Introduction | I've been a Cubs fan since I was a kid. Since before astro turf. Since before infomercials and Blackberries and SUVs and the DH and $4-a-gallon-gas and CDs that I break a fingernail trying to open. Since Ron Santo, Fergie Jenkins and Ernie Banks. I came out of the womb saying, "Looks like a nice day for a ballgame. Let's play two." |
| Interests | I work, sleep, eat, and watch baseball. Once in a while if I'm lucky I play hide the salami with the missus. During a commercial break. |
| Favorite Movies | Bull Durham without a question. Anything with Diane Lane. Ferris Buhler's Day Off, The Natural, The Odd Couple. |
| Favorite Music | Bill Murray singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame at Wrigley, A Dying Cubs Fan's Last Request, Go Cubs Go, everything that ever came out of Buddy Guy, Clapton when he was with Cream, Van Halen, Ernestine Anderson, and Mozart. |
| Favorite Books | Ball Four, all of Pat Conroy, The Cubs by Glenn Stout, Casey at the Bat, The Complete Works of Ring Lardner. |
Will the Cubs win the World Series this year?
