If you think that I'm fanatical about Apolo Ohno, Creed or Tony Stewart, then you haven't seen what happens to me during baseball season. I am a Cub Fan...a DIE-HARD Cub Fan...a blue-blooded, "Wait 'til Next Year", save me a seat in the Bleachers, Die-Hard Cub Fan. And I ain't ashamed to say it!
Cubfandom is bordering on a religious experience. Really. I even have some converts to prove it. I can name the entire roster from 1984. I can tell you everytime the Cubs have won the Pennant. I can spew out stats that would put Steve Stone to shame (well, maybe not Stoney). Am I scaring you yet? No? You should see my memorabilia collection, then.
Stay for a while. Turn on WGN and listen to Ron and Pat. Watch the Cubbies on your local cable channel. Open your heart to these loveable losers. Maybe you'll understand what it means to be a "Die-Hard".
"...Cuz it's root, root, root for the Cubbies! If they don't win, it's the SAME!"
