My grandma, I always feel like she is looking out for me.
And she was a lifelong Cubs fan.
And I just believe in something bigger than all of this.
And I think if you're a Cubs fan, that's how you were born.
grown up and taught about what it means to be a fan of that team being in that place.
So it was just a real special moment, uh, as a fan that always.
Layla, I'm so glad you mentioned that, and I'm getting goosebumps as you say it, because Game 7 in Cleveland happened, and it ended, and the first person I called, the only person I wanted to talk to, was my grandma, who was 88 at that time, and she's the reason I became a Cubs fan.
She grew up...
right down the street from Wrigley.
And I would watch the games with her on WGN, coming home from school, turning on Harry Carey.
And as happy as I was in the moment on Saturday and the fact that I was able to hand Rizzo the ball and have that moment, the only person I wanted to talk to was my grandma.
But sadly, she had passed.
But I kept thinking, she's with me.
She's sitting here watching all this just crack it up.
There's no place that she'd rather see me at than Wrigley.
So every Cubs fan I know has some kind of connection like that.
And it's why being a fan of that team specifically resonates for so many people all over the place.
Because
It's a really heartfelt connection, but absolutely on Saturday as my texts are going crazy and everybody's calling me and they're going, was that you?
The person that I wanted to talk to the most was my grandma because she taught me what it meant to be a Cubs fan all along.
