baseball joke

[jimmiej]

From The Sporting News:

Three baseball fans go into the forest. The first one, an Astros fan, yells out to God, "Dear God, will the Astros ever go to the World Series?" God answers back, "Yes, my son. The work of Bagwell, Biggio, & Berkman will not go for nothing. Keep the faith."

The second, a Giants fan, goes into the forest & yells out to God, "Dear God, will the Giants ever win the World Series?" God answers back, "Yes, my son. The work of Mays, McCovey, & Bonds will not go for nothing. Keep the faith."

The third, a Cubs fan, goes into the forest & yells out to God, "Dear God, will the Cubs ever again win the World Series? We've been waiting since 1918." God answers back, "Not in my lifetime."

Actually, it's the Boston Red Sox who haven't won a series since 1918. It goes back even further for the Cubs, it's either 1908 or 1909! (As a Yankees fan, I'm more familiar with the Red Sox date since it's chanted at Yankee Stadium every time the Red Sox make an appearance--as in Nineteen Eighteen clap, clap, clap, clap clap!)

Cute joke

You're correct. It's 1908-my mistake. Go Astros!!!
