I swear my mom was blowing that wind the first night at Wrigley from heaven.
I’m going to show you the best post I’ve read about the Cubs. This was from Jonascord. I loved this! :

My grandmother moved to Chicago when Franz-Joseph was still Emperor of her home town. For some inexplicable reason, starting in the 20’s, she always got season tickets to Wrigley Field.
In the 50’s and 60’s we’d take the Belmont Avenue bus, then on stop south on what was then the Englewood Line. She’d sit there, with a single cup of beer, and a cigar in a green jade holder, and study the game, focused like a Buddist monk. Only weekday games. (She thought cheering wasn’t ‘proper’.) Hey, she was a nutty Austrian lady.
It’s been over a century. Please, just this once?
