In case you don’t remember, the Chicago White Sox won the World Series in 2005, sweeping the Houston Astros four games to none.
The Chicago Cubs recently won the World Series, too, in 1908, when they beat the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Yet, when I stopped into my local grocery store earlier this year, what did I find in the Fannie May case but a spiffy looking chocolate bar named Cubbies. Interesting, I thought. Maybe I’ll try a White Sox bar. I dug through the case. But, wouldn’t you know it? No White Sox bar.
There are two kinds of White Sox fans in Chicago. Those who support the Pale Hose and don’t pay much attention to the Cubs and those who really hate the Cubbies and wish them nothing but the worst.
I’m one of those second kind of White Sox fans.
