Annually, about this time of year, I make my trip to the Sheraton on the Chicago River for an event that my non-baseball fan friends of mine have called cult-like, ridiculous and over-the-top.
You’re damn right. And I love every minute of it. I don’t enjoy Cubs Convention for the PR spin sessions led by Crane Kenney or any of the other gimmicks. It’s about coming together with the sea of fellow passionate Cubs fans, staying up late into the night having a drink with Bob Dernier in the lobby and just immersing myself in a love of the game.
