I am reminded of Steve Goodman who wrote "The Dying Cub Fan's Last Request" -- a song that many of us from Chicago love. A portion of Steve's ashes are now well worked into the soil at the base of the center-left field wall at Wrigley Field. A songwriter from town knew a fellow to talk to on the grounds crew, and he was "allowed" entrance one day/night to put some of Stevie into the field there where the ivy that covers the walls is rooted. The Cubs don't take much notice of that good old song, but it, like the dismal record of the team through the many years, combined with the Chicago White Sox winning the World Series in '05, remains as an excruciating thorn in the various sides of the Chicago Cubs. Is this thread creep? No, not really I don't think!
