…just some of my favs:
Because the women at Wrigley Field look better (and can drink more) than women who go to baseball games in any other city in the country.
Because our “W” doesn’t stand for a hotel chain or a former president.
Because we consider pitching pennies a sport.
Because win, lose, draw and lose again, we rep our teams like Drew Rosenhaus reps his clients.
Because we use our brown paper bags for sneaking booze into stadiums, and we don’t use them to show we’re embarrassed of the team we came to see.
Because we’d rather build a spaceship inside of our football stadium than do what the Yankees did to theirs.
Because on any given day, at any given sporting event in the city, Oprah or Obama could be sitting next to you.
Because of what Devin Hester is about to do this season.
