Mom (born 1924) was the daughter of polish immigrants. She preferred watching the games on tv in her south side home where I grew up. But she would turn down the sound because she liked the local radio commentators better so she would have the radio on. She also had a small stuffed raccoon she would shake at the screen when the Cubs were at bat. The raccoon went in her casket. Come on mom get that juju going!
What a GREAT memory!
I know your Mom is in heaven shaking that raccoon for all she’s worth! :)
