Yes, I know...I'm terminal.
Allow me to explain:
My late father was a lifelong, die-hard Cubs fan. Living in Minnesota when the Senators relocated the first time, he wanted to support the "local" franchise and purchased season tickets. Hence, I grew up being a Twins fan...
When we couldn't attend a game, we listened to it on the radio (to this day, there is something oddly reassuring, almost magical, about a hot summer evening well past dark with a ball game on the radio)...except when we were able to pull in WGN radio's signal if the Cubs were playing on the road on the West coast....then that was the game to which we listened.
I only came to realize what a fraud the American League was (the DH****il it was too late. The Twins remain my favourite minor league ball team.
