The White Sox then won their first World Series in 88 years.

Chicago has waited a long time for this.

Ive been a fan since 1980. Twenty-five years. I used to take lilbro as a kid to double games, to Wrigley Field for the day game, then the old Comiskey Park for the night games. Somedays, Id take Marsha home to the South Side and we'd swing by the park to catch a game.

It wasnt the park that was fun. It was the Sox fans - down to earth, fun loving.

Chicago is the kinda place, when you make friends - they stay your friends. Which is why Chicagoans - no matter where they end up, call themselves Chicagoans.

I'm glad Im alive to see it.

Aright. Go Sox! :)

JPennant: Oooh, I like this quote...

"Photography, like surfing," he suggests, "is an infinite process, a constantly evolving exploration of life. The more you know, the less you know. Every time you arrive at a level, you're at the bottom of the next level. It's endlessly challenging, and I think that's why I've stayed with it."
