Hey, I'm also a Bears fan, so I don't just root against winners.
But I've certainly had enough practice rooting against the Cardinals, Mets and Yankees...sigh...
My first real experience rooting against the Mets was 1969, when they overtook the Cubs in the standings to go to the WS. Ron Santo was on that Cub team, and he does the color commentary on the Cubs radio broadcasts now. You can still hear how he feels about N.Y., and it all started that year. He also doesn't travel to N.Y.; I think the main issue is his health and the fact he cannot travel as much as he used to, but I don't think it's coincidence that he doesn't make it to Shea.
