I was from far north side, Cub fan....married a girl from Cicero..Sox fan family
There was always fireworks at the July 4th get together I can tell ya'
I'd still rather see the Cubs than Sox in the WS, but I'm just glad one of the city's teams is there.
It is truly, truly mind-boggling to try and figure out why the Cubs can't even GET there (since '45).
Whereabouts on the far north side? I'm from near Devon & Western. Also, from your comments, I see we're about the same age; you're about three years older than I am (I was born in 1953). I used to go just about every game at Wrigley Field when I was a kid--only 75 cents. Went to a bunch of Sox games, too, in the 1970s.
