As ironic as it might be to even the mention the Cubs at World Series time, this song kinda sums up the whole experience of growing up rooting for them.

Though he insisted that he was not the one in the song, Steve Goodman himself was a dying Cubs fan. In fact, he died of leukemia just four days before the Cubs clinched the Central Division championship in 1984, their first title of any kind since "the year we dropped the Bomb on Japan."
