The stone tablets are a little unclear about that, but I just made the assumption he did.

The archaeological digs support your assumption.

For all the long suffereing Cubs Fans.....are other's worse off?
From Today's USAToday (excerpt below)

".........After all, the Cubs are in the playoffs for the fourth time in 11 years. They've at least made it to the NL Championship Series three times. They've fallen short in painful fashion, but have sports fans in other cities suffered more even if not longer?

How about followers of the Milwaukee Brewers, who went 26 years without even a playoff appearance before this year? Or those in Washington, D.C., who have had their October calendars clear every year since 1933. Not only have they lost two teams in the interim, the franchise in town now hasn't been to the playoffs since 1981, when it was in Montreal.

And maybe it has been worse for sports fans in San Diego, Cleveland and Buffalo, who have not celebrated a world championship in any major professional sport in more than 40 years......."

The Leafs not winning the Cup since '67 is a bigger story, imho.

I don't see any celebration topping that one when it happens.

Let's go NATS! It's gonna be a long, long time for us.

We can only hope for our CAPS!

The Leafs? Is that a NASCAR family like the Pettys or Earnharts?
