Some Cubs fans had to work to get past that.
I'm hear to tell you that Harry couldn't tote Jack Brickhouse's jockstrap.

Brickhouse was my favorite announcer ever. When I used to throw a ball against the side of my house, and pretend I was making a play on the rebound, Brickhouse's voice was the soundtrack in my head. I loved Harry, I cried a bit when he died, but Brickhouse will always be my favorite.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
