If You Think You Are Long Suffering Tigers Fan…Hold On There…
It's been a tough summer for Tigers fans. The bullpen goes best with a dose of Maalox. But at least the Tigers have been to the World Series twice in the past decade.
And they won in 1984. Turn your head to the west. Yep, there's the Chicago Cubs. Last World Series - 1945 (vs. the Tigers, by the way) Last World Series win: 1908. So while we were on vacation last week, partly in the Chicago area, we stopped at the Mall and I found a sports stuff store. And there, hanging at the front is the banner pictured. "World Series Champions! 1907-1908." Okay, everybody needs something to celebrate. But if you can zoom in on the price tag and description, that made me laugh. Its describes it as follows- Cubs Dynasty Banner. Needless to say, this goes hand in hand with the most apt Chicago Cub joke. "Every team is entitled to a bad century."
