Can You Believe the Things People Ask?

I was hanging out with this guy this weekend and he asks me, in all seriousness, why I’m a Cubs fan. So I start telling him about how I became a fan when I moved to the Chicago area in 1984 and the Cubs were a really hot team, and that my favorite player was Ryne Sandberg, and how my Mom was a Cubs fan, and my Dad was a Cubs fan. Then he interrupted me before I could tell him about young Greg Maddux and Mark Grace, and he asked me if my Mom was a prostitute and my Dad was drug dealer would I be those things as well? And I said… No, I’d be a Sox fan.

My Cub affliction began back in the Hundley, Banks, Beckert,Kessinger and Santo days. Bill Hands, Ken Holtzman, Fergie Jenkins, Phil Regan, Billy Williams, Jim Hickman. And it all pretty much stayed that way. I still think it’s harder to be a fan today, for any team, because of the mobility of the players. I can’t seem to shake the Cubs though. I either root for them or curse them, but don’t jump on any other band wagons. Money has ruined professional sports for me. By the way, my Dad was a prostitute and my mother was a coal miner.
