Was watching the ballgame yesterday, and Len Casper mentioned this new (old) Cubs fan club that's (re) starting up, called the West Side Rooters Social Club. Now, this may just be a marketing ploy for Harry Caray's, but it's free to join, and Ernie Banks and Ryne Sandberg are involved as well.
Al, if you think this is too much like free advertising for Harry Caray's, feel free to delete it, but I thought it was interesting (and historical)...

I've heard about this.
It is (primarily) a marketing ploy, but it sounded like a good idea—until I heard that He Who Shall Not Be Named was prominently featured as a member.

Dunno about that.
But that’s not who I’m talking about.

What BCB member
was trying to win a contest that the Rooters were holding? I haven’t heard an update for awhile.
