During one of my classes, I sit next to a diehard Chicago Cubs fan. There are actually a lot of those here at Indiana Wesleyan University. Not really sure how that works, but hey, that's the midwest for you.
Anyway, this guy is awesome. One of the coolest people I know. But he spends a decent amount of time surfing the web during lectures. To each his own. Actually, the stuff he looks up is usually pretty legit, so I'll occasionally indulge myself and look over. Most of the time, he browses through sports articles, basketball shoes, and hats. Oh, so many hats. But sometimes it's literally the only chance I get to catch up on the latest news around the NFL, NBA, and MLB.
Today was different though. Normally I have to read between the lines of articles that bias heavily towards the Cubs, Bulls, and DA BEARS for real news and information. However, during that certain class today, something different caught my eye: This guy, a Cubs fan through and through, was reading an article about Ken Griffey Jr.
Junior? Really? One of the most beloved Cincinnati Reds of all time (although you could definitely win an argument that he's more famous for his play in Seattle) being adored by a Cubs fan?
Why not?
Ken Griffey Jr. unquestionably did it the right way. No matter how you feel about (dead horse alert) the steroid drama baseball and baseball fans endured for a decade, you can't deny that Junior kept his nose and his posterior clean of performance-enhancing drugs. Even better, he was a good guy. Better still, he didn't flaunt the fact that he is a good guy.
(cough) *ASTERISK* Barry Bonds (cough)
So yeah, I believe that Junior could have fans (not necessarily huge fans) all across the the NL Central, MLB, and country. And my friend with the sweet hats proved that.
