Cub fans wouldn’t leave even if they were losing by 10 in the ninth inning. Not because Cub fans are so much more dedicated than other fans but because they’ve gotten used to a plethora of weird comebacks and upsets from circumstances that can only be described as “freak”. Case in point: the crazy weather in the 2016 World Series (game 7, no less) that threw the opposing team off balance, resulting in the first Cub victory in 108 years. My poor dad lived to 94 without ever seeing that. Sigh.
