The Cubs' last World Series appearance was in 1945. The first televised World Series game was in 1947. The Cubs had been watching the Series on television ever since there WAS television.

My great aunt, who recently turned 106, has lived her entire life without the Cubs ever winning a World Series. I've lived my entire life without ever seeing either of this year's league champions win the Series. And I'm in full-on trial prep mode for a trial that will begin November 1, so there is virtually no chance that I'll see any of the Series while it's happening.

I like what I do. But at times like this I pay a real price. :evil: --Bob

I'm going to have to root for the Indians. If the Cubs win, what else do the Chicagoans have to live for.

The Cubs are in the World Series tomorrow and Keith Richards lived to see it. Anything is possible, folks.

I'm going to work in Chicago for three months starting a week from today. It will be interesting.

How nice. He must be thrilled, seeing as how he was the batboy for their last World Championship team of 1908.

As far as "anything" being possible, probably should amend that to "almost" anything. When my Bills win the Super Bowl, THEN you can eliminate the almost :( :( :(

Good Luck to the Cubs ! One of only two teams I have ever supported.
I felt the change

Time meant nothing and never would again
