About me

Introduction I became a Cub fan primarily because my father was one. As a kid I heard stories about Ernie Banks, Fergie Jenkins, and Billy Williams as well as the Milt Pappas perfect game that "shoulda been". It also helped that the crosstown rival White Sox were on Channel 44 and, no matter how I adjusted the rabbit ears on my 1970's black and white Zenith TV, I couldn't get anything but a gloomy picture of Comiskey Park and those odd uniforms...were they really wearing shorts or did I need to adjust the antenna? Anyway, great stories and a clear reception is as good a reason as any to become a fan. And a century of "wait 'til next year" has yet to change my mind.
