August 27, 200322 yr To find when both the Sox and Cubs were in first place this late in the season. There is a pretty good write up about it in the ST today. Well the Cubs r still a 1/2 gm out. But I hate having to share the spotlight with those f**s. When they're losing we gotta hear about em and now that were both winning we gotta share with them. It's really sad. I think the Cards and Stros r both a couple of levels above the duds...
August 27, 200322 yr The Cubs play at West Side Grounds near Polk and Walcott, a park noted for its mental sanitarium just past left field where patients hang out the windows Well, that hasn't changed much...except they moved to the roofs also.
August 27, 200322 yr Author This is my favorite part. This is sooo 2003, or is it 1906? As predicted, the Sox fans are particularly rowdy, storming the field and carrying the team off on their shoulders after the first game, won by the South Siders 2-1 amid snowflakes. Sox fans refuse to give balls hit into the stands back, as is the custom of the day. Cub players need police escorts to their carriages after games. Only a rope separates fans from the outfield, giving the public opportunity to hurl spit and other projectiles at players. In the final, deciding contest, one fan kicks Cubs rightfielder Wildfire Schulte in the pants as Schulte goes back for a fly ball. No one was arrested: The kicker was a cop, in full uniform.
