During the National League Championship series between the Dodgers and Cubs I was torn since I have been a Dodgers fan since I was 12 years old. Last time the Dodgers won the World Series was 1988, but the last time the Cubs won the World Series was 1908, so my heart was for the Dodgers but my mind was for the Cubs.
Last time the Cubs appeared in the World Series was 1945 only to lose. Last time the Indians won the World Series was 1948, so I was rooting for the Cubs to win. I don't have the patience to sit through a baseball game, so I only switched my TV to the games a couple of minutes at a time here and there. But tonight I watch the 9th inning and the 10th inning.
When the Cubs got each of their runs in the 10th inning I cheered for them just as if I was watching the Leafs. I am so happy for the Cubs and their fans. It has been a long 108 year wait for them, and they came back to win the World Series after being down to the Indians 3 games to 1.
Even though I am a Dodgers fan I have always had a soft spot in my heart for the Cubs and I always wanted to go to a game at Wrigley Field. I got my wish in mid May 1993. It was a day game and it was really cool being there and the if fans are so nice.
Imagine staying a fan of a team that hasn't won in 108 years.
