Baseball

When I was a kid, I went to old Comiskey several times. I liked baseball, and followed the Sox a lot. They had some exciting teams and players then. They were in the World Series. I saw Early Wynn pitch. I saw Minnie Minoso hit some good ones. I liked Luis Aparicio. There were other players I followed during that roughly 1958 to 1962 time period.

It did not take me long to get more interested in the Cubs. I did not care if they were 25 games out of first place. I did not care that they were cursed by a billy goat or that they slid into last place every September. Believe it or not, my son and I were there for the Bartman game. (My son was a season ticket holder, but he had to give that up in his divorce).

We put up with a lot as Cubs fans, but it is worth it.
