I know my father has always loved me, but I think there is one place I really disappointed him when I was a kid. Though he bled Cardinal red, I always sported Cub blue. I really think it was almost too much for his heart to take at times.

Well, even three decades later I remain loyal to the Cubs (though I won’t deny sneaking in a cheer for the local club, the Astros). That’s why I love the site at CubWorld.com! Launched at Wrigley Field itself on Opening Day (the most sacred day of the year at the most sacred site in the world) back in 2000, they have everything I could possibly want in the way of Cubs gear. And best of all, everything is official, from the hat to the jerseys to the official Cubs St. Patrick’s Day thong! What more could any cubs fan ask for?
