What I take issue with is the supposed selfishness of the surrounding neighborhood. The feeling that the Cubs should be allowed day games for any post-season play, and that those games should be played at Wrigley, isn't confined to the people in the immediate area. This is generally a city-wide attitude. To state that the people around Wrigley have enough clout to get city hall to pass anti-night baseball legislation is to be a bit ignorant of the politics involved with the city. The state legislation is no surprise ...as Chicago goes, so goes Illinois (from the days of King Daley, but still true today). Although the south-siders don't necessarily agree with the legislation, it comes down to "us agin them", and they support the proposition. All this is clear to anyone born and raised in Chicago, north or south side. Call it "civic pride", "hard-headedness", or whatever you wish. Whatever it is, it's there and I don't think it will ever change... at least not in our life-times. (Why do you think the Cubs have had such a good following for all these years?) Anyway, off the soapbox, and on to other things. Cubs in '85? I sure hope so. (As an aside, no matter who your favorite team happens to be, the Cubs and the Mets have sure given us one hell of an entertaining early season.)
