No, lived in Chicago over 45 years, all north and northwest, had to move for work, first to Indiana and then to Arizona. I follow the sports where I live but Chicago teams are #1.
Never lived on the SS, but went to school at first Northwestern and graduated from DePaul, the city was my campus. Still many realtives there, all Cub fans.
While I like the fact the Sox are better than the Cubs most years, it would actually be more fun for all of us if both teams were good. And in the same division, like RedSox and Yankees, except better.Cubs and Sox are in the same town, Yanks and redSox are not. We would have a better rivalry, whereas now it's just trash talk except for a few Crosstown games.
I admit I didn't follow the Sox much until June. My son runs in college so I was more into that, and the Blackhawks, and a little bit of NBA. And they were stinking it up.
But I did get to see them in Tucson for one of the last spring training games to be held there (Rockies and DBacks move to Phoenix area next year).
