Totally off today’s strip, but I want to thank the Chicago Cubs for giving me the best present on the eve of my 71st birthday.
The last time they won the pennant was in 1945 – 71 years ago !
.
Now, as I bend my creaky knees in prayer, may they fulfill my lifelong dream, and join my other favorite team, the Red Sox, if finally winning a world series. GO CUBBIES !

Maybe you can remember Bert Wilson’s last years as the announcer from your childhood. I remember his first years, including the 1945 pennant year.
I became a baseball fan by radio. I even remember away games recreated by ticker tape, which you could hear in the background.
