Since I'm originally from Chicagoland........
Since the Cubs last won the World Series...
1. Radio was invented; Cubs fans got to hear their team lose.
2. TV was invented; Cubs fans got to see their team lose.
3. Baseball added 14 teams; Cubs fans got to see and hear their
team lose to more clubs.
4. George Burns celebrated his 10th, 20th,
30th,40th,50th,60th,70th,80th,90th and 100th birthdays.
5. Haley's comet passed Earth twice.
6. Harry Caray was born......and died. Incredible but true.
7. The NBA, NHL and NFL were formed, and Chicago teams won
championships in each league.
8. Man landed on the moon, as have several home runs given up by
Cubs pitchers.
9. Sixteen presidents were elected.
10. There were 12 amendments added to the Constitution.
11. Prohibition was created and repealed.
12. The Titanic was built, set sail, sank, discovered and became the
subject of major motion pictures, the latest giving Cubs fans hope that
something that finishes on the bottom can come out on top.
13. Wrigley Field was built and becomes the oldest park in the
National League.
14. Flag poles were erected on Wrigley Field roof to hold all of the
team's future World Series pennants. Those flag poles have since rusted
and been taken down.
15. A combination of 40 summer and winter Olympics have been held.
16. Thirteen baseball players have won the Triple Crown; several
thanked Cubs pitchers.
17. Bell-bottoms came in style, went out of style and came back in.
18. The Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Indians, Boston Red Sox and the
Florida Marlins have all won the World Series.
19. The Cubs played 14,153 regular-season games; they lost the
majority of them.
20. Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, and New Mexico were added to
the union.
Well, maybe next year.......
