Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
For years I’ve tried to explain to my Cubs-fan friends why my longtime zeal for their team gradually vanished over time.
After 20-some years as a strong and faithful fan of the North Side team, my interest and enthusiasm slowly found their way south in the early 1980s. I explained that Sox fans are more concerned with winning than with meaningless home runs, but they couldn’t understand. I told them Sox fans were generally more knowledgeable about the game, but that fell on deaf ears.
Finally I found an explanation they can accept: a large chunk of concrete fell on my head and knocked some sense into me. That’s why I’m a White Sox fan.
