I don’t have quite the same pedigree wih the Cubs, although I did attend “the Sandberg Game” on June 23, 1984, with a mixed group of Cubs and Cardinals fans. We all agree it was the greatest game we will ever attend. I kept the ticket stub and got Ryne Sandberg to autograph it a few years ago. It ‘s part of his shrine in my office, along with the car keys to my 1972 Ford Mustang Mach 1 that was stolen from in front of my friend’s apartment while we were at Wrigley Field.
Well, I’ve never donated my car, much less a ‘72 Mach 1, to the cause, so I’d say you’ve given a full measure of devotion!
It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.
