Growing up in Spokane Washington, I always get asked why I am a Cubs fan.
Two reasons. WGN and Ryne Sandberg.
As a kid, the Cubs were always on WGN. When I was maybe ten years old, I found out Sandberg, their superstar, was from Spokane. My homeboy! Locked. So, the Mariners and the Cubs were, and still are my teams.
Both organizations have been amazing with our family and Team Gleason. We’ve thrown the first pitch in both stadiums. Enormously grateful.
They’re both down a game, but through adversity, we find our heroes.
Go Mariners. Go Cubs.
