P.S. Don’t judge the flat top. My dad is a Marine. I had no choice in the matter.

I’ve still got the pennant that matched the shirt. I think the first Cubs hat was put on my head around 1990 or so.

  2. Goddamn that was the haircut for kids that age in the 90’s 😂🤣😂🤣

  5. We’ve had one world series in almost 120 years. Nobody’s calling you a bandwagon fan.

  7. I’m not sure what counts as bandwagon. I grew up in Indianapolis area and there are probably more reds fans here than anything. We definitely went to Cincinnati for a reds game probably once a year. Also went to Wrigley, but much less often.

    Really started the daily watching of the Cubs in 2002 when I moved to Central Illinois. I’m happy to say that was one full season before their epic but tragic run of 2003. And yes, I definitely suffered through my fair share of 12 fingered Alfonseca blown saves.

  8. When America knew how to – 
     Make a car 
    Make a tshirt 
    Give a Kid a proper buzz cut 

  11. I’ll admit, I jumped on the bandwagon in 1984.

    Ryno was a big part of that, but that 84 season was just so much fun, I had to join in.

    Do I count as a lifer yet?

  12. Wow, I remember those Indiana plates. We had a custom one for my grandmother that said “granny.”

  15. I’ve got a pic of me as a toddler in a cubs hat as well; found it when moving like 7 years ago too. We really do bleed that cubbie blue eh?

    Also nine Indiana plate, honorary hoosier here (moved last year from Florida!)

  17. Cubs fans aren’t often accused of being bandwagons. We suck more often than not
