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!!!

Am a Red Sox fan who is cheering for Chi. despite the White Sox beating us in the first round (and despite the fact that the Yanks got beat by Angels). I'm not just a Red Sox fan,
I'm a baseball fan. When my team is out of the playoffs
I cheer for other teams (but not the Yanks).

And I've been to what was then New Comiskey park (now
named after a cell phone company) a couple times (sat in
upper decks) as well as Wrigley.

And would be fun to see teams like the White Sox, who haven't been to the big dance since '59, and the Astros,
who have never been (Geo. & Barbara Bush are fans)
to get a chance.
