What does it mean to you to be a Cubs fan?
Dedication, loyalty and patience are what it means to be a Cubs fan.


Why are you a Cubs fan?
I grew in the inner South Side of the city surrounded by Sox fans. I became a Cubs in 1984 when I was a member of the Jackie Robinson West Cubs little league team.

What were your feelings when they won the pennant?
I was very elated and felt satisfied with the results.


Who is your favorite African American Cubs player of all time and why?
Andre Dawson is my favorite African American Cubs player. He played with intensity and had an awesome swing!

How will you celebrate if they win the World Series?
First, I will probably cry tears of joy, after that, I plan on going to the parade.
