A lot of you are Cubs fans because you grew up in and around Chicago and they were the closest team. Still more were baptized in the fire of WGN Radio’s blowtorch signal or the wide reach of the Superstation’s TV broadcast. And while there are some who converted later in life, I’d wager that a good portion of you can pull from a vast collection of episodic childhood memories involving your favorite team.
Do you remember getting together with friends in the neighborhood for a little sandlot baseball, each of you laying claim to your favorite player?
