The Chicago Cubs are the most popular baseball team in America. Unlike most TV stations in the USA, Chicago’s own WGN Channel 9 is called a Super station, broadcasting Cub’s games across the country. People living in small towns across America, places like Little Rock Arkansas, where Bill Clinton comes from, do not have a national baseball team in their state to cheer for. So they become hard core Cubs fans hoping one day the Cubs will win the big prize, The World Series.

Watching a Cubs night game at Wrigley Field (named after the chewing gum) is one the better ways to spend a summer evening here in the Windy City. It’s a bit like the rugby except it’s much warmer, beer is delivered to you in your seat, you get to sing during the 7th inning stretch and there is 82 home games to watch from April through October.
