As a kid, most of my summers were spent outside riding bikes or playing basketball with the other boys in the neighborhood. I remember one seemingly normal summer day, I discovered the Chicago Cubs. I was inside taking a break from the sweltering Carolina sun in front of the window unit in my mom’s bedroom when I stumbled across the Chicago Cubs on WGN. I became so captivated by what I saw that I started looking for every single game that I could the rest of the summer.
The summer of 2004 was when I discovered the ‘Lovable Losers’ on WGN.
