Good on him who would have fought he'd still be around long enough to witness the cubbies 71 years later in another World Series and finally breaking the 108 year drought. Amazing stuff and I just wonder how he was holding up when it was 9-9, the rain delay then the 10th inning. I'm sure it was Heaven for him. C'mon cubs back to back.

Now THIS is a baseball story and a truly American one at that. For 150 years this country has gone through so much change and reinvention, but PTO baseball has remained a constant connective thread throughout all that time. I’m a fourth generation Red Sox fan myself and my great-grandfather passed just weeks before Carlton Fisk and the 1975 WS. At 10 my grampa and I watched with sadness as the 1986 team blew their chance in game 6. The old man got to see them win it all in in ‘04 though only to pass away the following summer. He, like this gentleman was a soldier in WWII. Baseball is as much a link to our past as anything in this country. We go to watch grown men watch a child’s game an hang on every moment.
