Everybody who watches baseball knows that the Chicago Cubs have not won a World Series since 1908 and have not even been in a World Series since 1945. That year they lost to the Detroit Tigers. That was the year before I was born.
I have, therefore, been waiting all my life for the Cubs to win the National League Pennant, which they did Saturday, beating the Dodgers and causing me and a bunch of other people who never thought that day would come to weep tears of joy.
I said I didn't even care if they won the World Series -- I just wanted them to win the Pennant and be in the World Series. That's not true, of course. I do hope they win the whole thing.
Game 1 tonight in Cleveland, another team without a win in a long time. Too bad. Our turn.
Hey, Chicago, what'd'ya say? The Cubs are gonna win today!
