“David Ross reads a handwritten note on a printout of a Wall Street Journal article that was left at his front gate by a fan. The note reads:
Dear Cubs —
I grew up in the days when you could ring Ron Santo’s doorbell and he would come to his front door and sign autographs. Please read this story before tonight’s game and feel the love and respect that the departed Cubs have for each and every one of you. You have brought joy to the city of Chicago.
Gratefully,
A devoted fan”
Watching the fan stories during the games have been so inspiring!
Here is a short YouTube on “97-Year-Old Chicago Fan Sees Cubs In World Series For First Time Since 1945”.
The Cubs will play the Indians in Game 6 at Progressive Field in Cleveland tonight. It is a joy to continue to include references to the Cubs in my cards and letters – and to continue to close my blog post with Go Cubs Go!
Anchors Aweigh,
Helen

ESPN Just Another Day in the Life. “How does Cubs catcher David Ross prepare for his final start at Wrigley Field — and maybe of his career? A little family time, plenty of chats with his pitcher and a shoutout from Eddie Vedder.” PHOTOGRAPHY BY ANDREW HANCOCK 10/31/16
