Yeah might be more fitting to sing Goodman's "Dying Cub Fan's Last Request" mucifer May 2012 #10
I think Dallas Green banned that one. Gidney N Cloyd May 2012 #11

People, me included, love to sit and watch the Ivy grow.

The whole event of a Cubs game defies reason...like needing a win to sing a song that's Goodman wrote to be sung BEFORE a game.

Goodman wrote it when his leukemia was in remission. I love how he laughed at death. It eventually got him.

I remember when he died in 1984. Four days after he died, his beloved Chicago Cubs clinched the Eastern Division title in the National League for the first time ever, earning them their first post-season appearance since 1945 (when he was three).

The rapture would probably occur about 3 outs before the Cubs win the World Series
