My daughter Lorna was born in 1984, which was, of course, a year of a Great Collapse. The Cubs won the National League Eastern Division and went to post-season baseball for the first time since 1945. They played the San Diego Padres, the Western Division champs, in a five-game series. The Cubs won the first two and then collapsed.
Naturally, she does not remember that. She does remember the Great Collapse of 2003, also known as the Year of Steve Bartman.
You see, I raised her to be a Cubs fan. We spent hours together watching games on television.
