Doesn't this look heavenly?! Although it may not be that warm in Chicago right now, it is still the beginning of another exciting baseball season and I am slightly jealous of those bundled up in their winter Cubs gear heading out to Wrigley today. Given the scrutiny Cubs fans endure every year, I feel it necessary to give my background of why I am a die-hard Cubs fan. It basically began at birth. My mom went into labor while her and my dad were watching a Cubs game on a sunny day in June. The way the story goes, I arrived just in time for the end of the ninth inning. Over the years my parents would bring my brother and I to Wrigley field every summer to watch our faithful Cubs. I've even been so lucky as to have witnessed some rare history making games including Sammy Sosa's tie and break of the home run record, and more recently Zambrano's no hitter at Miller Park. I believe being a Cubs fan isn't just about the team. It's about the traditions, memories and every year beginning this day with three simple words..."It's our year!"
