As I'm sitting here watching the ticker-tape parade on Lasalle in Chicago I realized that the race is over.
What I mean is that there are only 2 cities with more than 1 baseball team. The Mets unfortunately will always be behind the Yanks because the Yanks have won a lot over the years. The difference in Chicago is that BOTH teams have been terrible for many, many years. Here is my analgy to a race. For all these years the Cubs have been the hare...flashy and getting all the attention and the Sox have been the tortoise...subdued yet determined.
Well, we all knew who won and as a Sox fan that's the best feeling in the world. We beat the Cubs to the punch and even though they have been getting all the attention it's now our turn. I would've been ticked if the Cubs won first but that didn't happen.
I now live in Arizona and when I tell people where I'm from they say "Cubs fan eh?".
Redemption is oh so sweet!!
