For the past 6 months, one of my best friends in Sun City Anthem, Jack  "J.D."  Dawson, and I, have spent the better part of our lives watching countless Chicago Cubs baseball games.

We are...DIE HARDS....

and...to my pal, J.D.  

(many of you golfers at Revere Golf Course know him as your start-off guy who makes no excuses for granting special favors to those to admit to being Cub fans

...after 6 months of watching over 150 games, day in and day out...

...having to listen to numerous opinions as to my ability to manage a Major League Baseball team...

...while deserting our wives at every opportunity that existed when the Cubs were playing ....

The bottom line is...

WE DID IT !

and being from Chicago...

After

108 Years
of 
Living in Misery 

We both proudly say....

Please, God...
just once before we die !

Would you please grant us one final request?

    I don't know a thing about baseball. Never heard of the Cubs.

    What else can I help u with??
  4. My dear Mary, you can start by learning that bats are round, not flat, and that a good game has four bases we run around, not two that we run back and forth.

    We also have the ability to throw a ball to a catcher without having to bounce it on the ground before he catches it.

    That's why we call him a catcher instead of a wicket keeper, and finally, we play 9 innings with the winner scoring 3-5 runs, rather than 9 hours with the winner scoring 150.

    Folks, I know Mary, she's an Aussie who believes cricket is baseball...

    ...but...she's has one of the best sense of humors I've ever known in Sun City Anthem, and one of my wife's best buds...

    Love ya Mary.
