	What happens if the Cubs do make the series is, at best, going
to involve a lot more talk, compromise, more talk, etc.  With that I
agree.  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.)

					Happiness;
					Chip
