Hey, it’s been a week and a half. The team that destroyed the Cubs’ centennial of righting a century’s wrongs is almost out of the playoffs themselves. But nope. Let’s keep dwelling on the Cubs.
Today on ESPN Radio, I kid you not, it went something … like-a this:
“John Wooden turned 98 today. He was born two years after the Chicago Cubs last won the World Series.”
God. I’m glad they’re still using frames of references that continue to twist the knife into Chicago. Although I guess it was more humane than “He was born two years before the sinking of the Titanic,” because some of us are still trying to get over that tragedy.
