This is true. My grandparents from my Mothers AND Fathers side of the family both live in Joliet. My dad's dad likes the Sox, and my mom's dad likes the Cubs! I can't necessarily say I HATE the Sox, but I do have a great indifference toward them. Perhaps if there ever were an all Chicago World Series that would fuel the fire. LOL Like that's ever going to happen. Maybe in MY grandchildren's lifetime!
