Today's topic... for which team/teams do you get out your pom poms for?
Having always been a south side gal, my heart belongs to the Chicago White Sox. However, I will admit that even though I am not a cubs fan, I do still enjoy the classic history of the field and the surrounding neighborhoods by Wrigley.
I grew up playing high school softball, and looking up to the MLB players of Paul Konerko and Frank Thomas. It was exciting for me to watch them play my high school position. My bachelorette party was even to a White Sox game. Now, having a child, my visitation to the field has decreased significantly. Although, I have to say that their family afternoon games on Sundays do hold plenty of activities for kids.
I look back and laugh now at how anti-Cubs I used to be. During my career before teaching, I used to work for an events company that held shows at Wrigley Field. I remember as I worked, my mission was to make sure my feet were stuck on the plastic covering and not touching the grass of the field itself. Now that I am older, that has definitely changed.
When I'm not cheering on baseball, I am married to an Englishman, so my weekends tend to revolve around premier league games. As you can image, the World Cup is a pretty big event in our house, even though the USA and England didn't make it to the finals.
So, what team/teams do you cheer for?
Hilarious! I grew up in a south suburb as a Cubs fan and therefore HATE the Sox. I used to get so much "stuff" for being a Cubs fan that I could never cheer fort he Sox and have made it my mission to cheer for the other team if I go to a Sox game and wear red and blue (my husband and mother are too afraid I would get into a fight if I actually wore Cubs gear - hahaha). This made me laugh - opposites yet the same! ;)
