Subject: Cardinals vs Cubs
These events that have occurred since the Chicago Cubs last won a World Series:
1. Radio was invented; Cubs fans got to hear their team lose
2. TV was invented; Cubs fans got to see their team lose
3. Baseball added 14 teams; Cubs fans get to see and hear their team lose to even more clubs
4. George Burns celebrated his 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th, 90th and 100th birthdays
5. Haley's comet passed Earth - twice
6. Harry Caray was born....and died. Incredible, but true
7. The NBA, NHL and NFL were formed, and Chicago teams won championships in each league
8. Man landed on the moon, as have several home runs given up by Cubs pitchers
9. Sixteen U.S. presidents were elected
10. There were 11 amendments added to the Constitution
11. Prohibition was created and repealed
12. The Titanic was built, set sail and sank.
13. Wrigley Field was built and becomes the oldest park in the National League
14. Flag poles were erected on Wrigley Field roof
to hold all of the Cubs' World Series pennants.
Those flag poles have since rusted and been taken
down
15. A combination of 40 Summer and Winter Olympics have been held
16. Thirteen baseball players have won the Triple Crown; several thanked Cubs pitchers
17. Bell-bottoms came in style, went out of style and came back in
18. The Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Indians,
Boston Red Sox, and the Florida Marlins
have all won the World Series
19. The Cubs played 14,153 regular-season games; they lost the majority of them
20. Alaska , Arizona , Hawaii , and New Mexico were added to the Union
21. The Cardinals have been World Series Champs 10 times
As if that weren't enough:
The Cards have won one more World Series in their
new stadium
than the Cubs have won in theirs, which was built
in 1914.
Ouch.
