(In case any readers were unaware or forgot, your blog host is a lifelong Chicago Cubs fan–KSH).
The Chicago Cubs have proven that they are willing and able to make history, but If they beat the Cardinals on Tuesday at Wrigley Field, they’ll accomplish something even more impressive than winning a playoff series over their hated rivals.
They’ll also clinch a playoff series on their home field for the first time in at least 112 years.
Granted, the Cubs have only won three postseason series (excluding the NL Wild Card Game vs. the Pirates last week) since the World Series was first contested in 1903, but it’s still shocking to realize that the team has never clinched a series on their home field.
It’s not over until the fat lady sings.
Cubs win! The announcer said the stadium is 100 years old and this is the first time they’ve celebrated a post-season success at Wrigley.
