Its been over a week since the Chicago Cubs clinched the National League Central and ending up with the best record in the National League overall this season. Tonight the Chicago White Sox clinched the American League Central in a tiebreaker game.
Chicago is lucky as it is one of the few cities that have two teams to choose from, northside and southside, and you must make a choice!
I think that since both of the teams have made the post season for the first time in 102 years that this makes Chicago the best city in baseball. Although I am a die-hard Chicago Cubs fan, I do find it exciting that I can make that statement. A Crosstown World Series would be absolutely amazing, admit it no matter what side you are on. The Crosstown Classic that happens over the summer is always an event in and of itself but a World Series?!
I also think its the right city for it to happen to. Chicago respects the game, respects the players and when it really comes down to it we respect each other. Sure Cubs fans have been hearing about 2005 for the past few years and Sox fans like to remind us that it has been 100 years, but at the same time that is what makes this city exciting.
Sox fans and Cubs fans get married and I think its becuase that way they can fight about something that ends up being good plain fun. I have lots of Sox fan friends, we like to call and say my teams better than your team, but it has never ruined or monopolized our friendship. Chicago fans of either side expect it and truely end up having fun with it.
I don't expect riots and stupidity because we respect the game too much, we want to remember the post season right up to the World Series as the major event that it is and respect it for what it is.
Chicago is the Best City in Baseball and I can't wait to see what happens next!
