I was a fan of both teams until 1978, when Cub fans started giving this fourth grader s%*#, and then I only liked the Sox, Bulls, Black Hawks and Sting.

Sox only team I’m hanging onto, Might get back into the Hawks after the change at the top of the OrganIzation.

I think by that time, the Cubs were clearing out their classis 60's lineup. Beckert, Santo, Williams, Hundley, Jenkins, Kessinger, Banks retired, they traded Kenny Holtzman, for reasons. It was a good time to jump ship. 

Those guys did a charity basketball game across the street from my house.  Billy Williams signed my glove and I used it because it was my only glove.  Back in the day you thought it was cool yo have a player sign something.  Today it is different, A parent would throw that in a  vault and try to sell it later on.   I understand why some celebrities refuse to do autographs.
