Bases loaded for Chicago. Could we see the first pennant for a Chicago team since the Eisenhower administration?

CWS--no pennant since '59, no WS title since '17
Cubs--no pennant since '45, no WS title since '08

Tell me about it! I was only six year old when the Sox were in the Series in '59. That's been it FOR MY WHOLE LIFE!

GO SOX!!!

What could have been, had it not been for Grady Little and Steve Bartman (well, maybe not just HIS fault...):

One of my all time favorite songs. Three outs to go, let's get some more runs and save some anxiety here in Chicago.
