Cubs-Angels World Series Didn't Happen

I really wanted the Cubs to play the Angels in the World Series. After all, Steve’s got season’s tickets to watch the Angels now.

Great article.

I would highly recommend to everyone here that they read Clay Eals’ terrific biography of Steve, “Facing The Music”. There’s so much Chicago history and culture in there, not to mention some things about the Cubs.

Here’s a review I wrote of “Facing The Music” last January.

Baumnan's a pretty good writer

And is objective.

Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true! --Homer J. Simpson
