Death of a Cub Fan

Somewhere on the north side of Chicago an old man well into his 90s lies dying surrounded by four generations of his offspring, many with tears in their eyes.

"Don't cry for me", the old man says. "I have lived a long and full life. I have done everything I wanted to do. I have achieved all of my dreams. I have seen everything......."

At that moment, a TV can be heard in the next room:


"WGN brings you Cubs baseball....."

"Damn", says the old man with his last breath as his head drops onto the pillow.

"Papaaa!".
