Art, I wondered if you'd find this little gem of Chicagoiana. I first heard it on a tape my brother sent which was labeled "Best Irish Music" and last heard it a year ago at the Irish Fest in Indianapolis.

Did you ever see the play "Bleacher Bums?" If your an optimist (i.e., a Cubs fan) you should.

You did hear about the kid who asked to be adopted by the Cubs, didn't you? He said that his daddy beat him, and him mommy beat him, and his uncles and aunts and grandparents beat him, so he wanted to be adopted by the Cubs 'cause they never beat anybody.
