I took the above photograph of my friend Stuart many years ago in front of Wrigley Field during a trip back to Chicago to watch the Cubs play the New York Yankees in Game 3 of the World Series. At least I think we did - my memory is getting pretty hazy these days. Perhaps it was during a previous life - sometimes it is hard to keep them all straight.. In any case, that was the game made famous by Babe Ruth's "called shot," when he pointed to the center-field bleachers during an at-bat and hit a home run to that exact spot on the very next pitch. The Cubs, by the way, were swept 4 games to none in that series, proving that at least as far as the Cubs are concerned, some things never change.
