H2O #137: In Which We Discuss the Chicago Cubs and Fandom

"Back to the Future Part II" made a gag out of it, but who would have thought we'd actually be talking about the Chicago Cubs wining the World Series? And just one year off from when BTTF predicted it, too... The reaction of Cubs fans, even baseball fans in general, gives rise to our topic this week: the loyalty of fandom. The drive to know and love something so much you stick with it no matter what. That excited energy that comes with reading the new issue, watching a new season, seeing the next movie, finishing the costume... and our fandom is just as energetic and enthusiastic as sportsball fandom. Don't forget our informal poll: Should we keep going weekly? Or skip every other week? Let us know by sending an e-mail: [email protected].
