"Once a Cubs fan, always a Cubs fan, but my personality was such that I couldn't stay hitched only to a losing team," said Clinton, who was born in this city and grew up in suburban Park Ridge.

"I had to search for a team that would counterbalance the experience of losing every single year, so — I hate to say this, and I know you'll boo me — I became a Yankees fan," she said. "I alternated my affections because it was just too hard being a Cubs fan, only being a Cubs fan."
