Pochman, that 89 team really is when I went "all in" as a Cubs Fan. I was 13 and lived day to day to see what Walton, Sandberg, and Gracie had done.
yup, me too. I was too young in 84 to really be hurt by it. I was at yesterday's game and sat by the left field foul pole. I had flash backs of being there in 89, during a double header. I had standing room only tix (as many of my tickets were that year). I stood by the fence closest to the pole and Dunston hit a HR down the line, and I saw it flying towards me perfectly just fair.
ah..good times. The 89 playoffs were a nice slap in the face though and a nice welcoming to Cub fandom.
I even had a "wild bunch" t-shirt with the 89 starters drawn as caricatures. what a geek
