Posted By: <b>petecld</b><p>A Cubs vs. Red Sox World Series would be amazing. Being a life-long Cubs fan I'll take "Cubs vs. (anyone)" in a World Series. Considering how passionate fans of each team are it would almost be a shame that one team - in this case the Red Sox - has to loose.<BR><BR><BR>GO CUBS!!!!

It appears in one of his collections of short stories.<BR><BR>Kinda makes you hope for a Yankees / Marlins series.<br><br>Brett Domue<BR>okeedokee@pipeline.com<BR><a href="http://members.aol.com/METSBWD/wantlist.htm" target=_new>http://members.aol.com/METSBWD/wantlist.htm</a>

Posted By: <b>Ryan Christoff</b><p>Pete,<BR><BR>It would never be a shame for the Red Sox to lose. In fact, it brings great joy to my heart just to think about it. <BR><BR>I'm starting to worry that they might have found a bullpen somewhere, though. And I'm especially worried about the fact that Kim won't be playing this series. I'm hoping they're just saving him in case they need him to lose a big World Series game, like game 7 perhaps.<BR><BR>If it's Cubs/Red Sox, I think I'll have to sell part of my collection and fly to Chicago to see the Sox lose in person. <BR><BR>Go Cubs! (unless it's Cubs/Yankees)<BR><BR>-Ryan<BR><BR>

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>If the Cubs and Red Sox meet, the whole Series will be played in Dead Ball Era ballparks. Talk about history, tradition and ghosts at those ballparks <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><BR><BR>Jay

Posted By: <b>Julie</b><p>I was a rabid Cubs fan till 1945 when my best friend, Dick Pollak, conviced me they weren't going anywhere.<BR>Yes, guys, there actually WAS a 1945...<BR>Kinsella is the guy who wrote the book that "Field of Dreams" (everyone's favorite baseball movie but mine) was based on.

Posted By: <b>anothercollector</b><p>It could be game 7, up 10 runs, 1 out left, 9th inning, and the Red Sox would still lose. Somewhere Bill Buckner is pulling his hair out...<BR><BR>then again, do Red Sox fans really want to win it all? They wouldn't have anything left to look forward to.

Posted By: <b>runscott</b><p>it's also ironic to receive "enlightenment" from collectors who have never opened a pack of cards containing gum....and those childhood memories - the smell of a freshly opened foil pack.

Posted By: <b>Julie</b><p>who the first anonymous poster is at all (the one who said i was-um--at least 135 years old); I know who the second is--he's in love with Mastercard--but don't know what his age is (his emotional age is pretty <BR>clear, but how long he's been on this planet isn't).<BR>Guess you do. Sorry--I thought you were simply ignoring, or hadn't noticed--my distress.<BR><BR>And thanks again for the N162 Keefe! (could have pulled it out of a pack lo those many long years ago, but just wasn't lucky enough. Aside from the fact that I was born in 1935...)

Posted By: <b>Julie</b><p>What I meant, in my early post in this column, by "yeah, guys, there really WAS a 1945" was not that you are all too stupid to know it, or to know that it was the last time the Cubs were in the Series, but that--almost all of you not being born for another 20 to 35 years--it's just another happening in the past, like--1908 was the last time the Cubs WON the World Series. Except in '45, there were effectively no baseball cards (because of the war), whereas--all around 1908, there were nice, juicy ones, like Fancraze, Ramley, T206, etc. Moreover, the cards that came out in '47, '48 and '49 can't arguably hold a candle to those I mentioned, and others that followed immediately thereon. So probably to some of you, 1908 is more vivid than 1945!<BR><BR>I was ten years old in 1945, and lived in Chicago, and remember the ears glued to radios, the headlines. Atom bomb? Last years news...nobody took me to a game, but I had probably lost my glasses (which i did whenever I could), so I couldn't have seen anything anyway.
