The Cubs

There's nothing in the news these days except the news, which is dreadful. And the Cubs. The Cubs are something else.

The last time the Cubs won a World Series it was 1906. They played Detroit. I became a fan in 1950 or so; I was in junior high school.

The best thing about the Cubs is you can be a Cubs fan without being much of a baseball fan. The Cubs are just the Cubs, and Wrigley Field is a fine place to spend a sunny summer afternoon. And that's enough. But wouldn't it be great to win this one?

Go Cubs.
