Reply #15: it took a long time [View All]

he was always a sox fan first. but he never minded the cubs, and used to go to a lot of games, as he had a pal with season tickets.
i was raised in the burbs, the child of one cubs fan and one sox fan. mostly we were cub fans.
after the kids came along, the idea of finding the time to watch and pay attention to a baseball game was just a painful reminder of a former life. especially after 84.
not sure when he started to get so ugly about it. i think mostly when prices started skyrocketing. and when he finally forgave the sox for tearing down comiskey park. that took a while.
so, it is not a lot of skin off my nose that he hates the cubs. except when he gets personal about it.
