08_three_cubs_fans_and_a_bum (11/13)
Three Cubs fans and a bum at Hohokam Park, spring training home to the Cubs. Left to right: Mike (who cartoons for Bleed Cubbie Blue), yours truly, Jeff, and Al Yellon. Mike and John are friends of Al's. We had a great time on the outfield berms. Unfortunately, I forgot to get a picture of Al's friends Jessica and John. John lives in Phoenix, so spring training is a nearby drive, but Jessica lives in New York and has Cubs season tickets. This was her first spring training. She only attends a dozen games a year and sells off the rest. Such is the fanaticism of Northsider fans.
