It's a long season.

The Cubs have been a legend for years. Nothing to do with baseball. You have to understand that. The Cubs’ popularity had nothing whatsoever to do with baseball. It’s a place to come to as, say, the Air Show is, the Auto Show, the Art Institute. It’s a place to be at, and many have come from suburbs and nearby towns. It’s not really baseball. It’s a place to be at. We see that with the bimbos and the louts and the Bud Lights.

I don’t want to glorify the old days because they weren’t that good, either, but when you went to see the Sox, at least it was a ballgame.
