Gulp.
Point One. Stadiums
Both teams have wonderful, traditional old stadiums that have stood the test of time. But Wrigley Paark was built on the grounds of a seminary, which obviously gives it a spiritual sense, as opposed to Fenway, which was just stuck in the Fenway area of Boston. Not as significant as Wrigley. The week before they opened Fenway Park, the Titanic sunk. So - there wasn't much newspaper coverage. The first homerun in the history of professional baseball was hit at Wrigley Field. So the opening of Wrigley Field was met with far more fanfare. Cool, huh?
Point Two. Team Names
A lot of teams have names that suggest aggression or have specific connections to the cities with which they are associated. Not Boston. They're named after socks. At least the Cubs have some animal associated with them - not to mention connection with the Chicago football team, the Bears. Cool, huh?
Point Three: Curses
The Red Sox had the Curse of the Bambino. The Cubs have the Curse of the Billy Goat. Babe Ruth is dead, and No No Nanette is a crappy musical that nobody likes. They're gone now and so is the curse. Billy goats, however, continue to thrive. Thus, no matter what bad things happen to the Cubs, they can always blame it on the existence of goats. Cool, huh?
Please tell me that's enough. It hurts too much. Cool, huh?
