This was the start of cable TV and WGN was a superstation, bundled with many cable services nationwide. WGN was carrying the Cub games, and a lot of people got hooked. A precursor to the Internet was Prodigy. Back in the day I used to post travel advice for visitors to Chicago. My inbox was always flooded with messages from people looking for Cubs tickets.Berniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157600812959885192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-87062555838380013082016-10-25T00:51:44.055-05:002016-10-25T00:51:44.055-05:00Way to grab the ball and run with it.

Way to hit that fastball over the fence.<br /><br />Glad to see something from the perspective of the "other" city, written by someone who was born and raised there. I imagine the traffic on I-80 will be heavy with fans following both teams. It's tempting to drive to Cleveland just to soak up the atmosphere for Games 1 and 2.<br /><br />It seems the Cubs have become America's team for the moment, and rightly so, IMO. But it's good to have another "midwest" city participating. The Indians are a great team, so Cubs fans shouldn't expect an easy Series. But I do believe this is THE year. Go Cubs!<br /><br />SandyK<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
