Justin or Alex?
Finished watching the FX1 show on the 2016 World Series and the final 30 minutes of MLB's Joy in Wrigleyville an hour ago. I was surprised how much emotion remains. After 59 years of frustration I guess it should be expected. It also reminded me of family and friends, especially my mother. She didn't get the opportunity to experience a Cub championship in her lifetime of 93 years. Part of me thinks she and a lot more departed Cub fans like her had something to do with that rain delay. Seems a silly thought, but I doubt I'm alone in thinking it.
Thanks to all of you who have been a part of this thread over the past two years. It means a lot. Even you Biff.
I was in the RF bleachers for Game 6 of the NLCS. The number of grown men and women crying during the 9th innning all around me was astounding - and I have to admit I teared up myself. I think each and every person in those stands was remembering someone who had either passed or who was still alive but old and no doubt celebrating from home as the World Series neared.
