Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago was not easy for baseball fans. There were literal fights between the Chicago White Sox fans and the Chicago Cubs Northside fans, and this continues today. Imagine being a Northside fan and living in the south or vice versa. You always thought a mob was going to come in and drum you out of your side of town.
As I watched the cross-town classic between these two neighbors and viewed the Sox fans in Wrigley, I have to admit, I was impressed.
You and I both know that the Chicago Cubs have a much cleaner, neater history than the boys from the Southside.
