as I was saying--a friend of mine grew up in Chi., a Cubs fan, and now lives near Anaheim and cheers for Angels. He was born in Oct of '59...a month after the last time a Chicago team
was in the World Series.
My Red Sox were in World Series when I was 5, 13, 24, and last year when I was 42 (am same age as Clemens, 43)
I was 9 in 59, my uncle from Lincoln Neb. listened to WGN on the radio and back then the Sox games were the only night games Chicago offered. He got tickets to the 1st game of the seies and brought me a pennant from the game. It had all the names of the players in the picture of the sock. I had my house broke into in the late 80's, and damn if the crooks didn't take my 1959 pennant....
I was at the opening night at Wrigley...8-8-88 what a great 3 innings that was.
