 Katie wrote this poem near the end of the regular
season at the age of 75, and although the Cubs didn't win it all
that year, she kept her promise of coming back for another season.
Twenty-six more in all.
When the Chicago Cubs are on the air
You can bet
your boots, I'll be there
To listen from beautiful Wrigley Field
on WGN.
Today's the
day, you're gonna win
So "Go,
Cubs, Go," just a few more games to play
Believe you
me, I'm with you all the way
Harry, Milo,
Vince and Lou
Oh, how I
love all four of you.
You bring
each play with such excitement and fun
Praising the Cubs whether they lost or
won.
The "Good
Kid" has the answers for us as the plays are called
Whether it
be for strikes or those foul ball
A Cub fan
now for 80 years or more
There's
never been a team like in '84.
You make
this old lady really beam
I'm so proud
of the whole Cubs ball team
To see you
swing those bats and run
A pleasure
to watch and a lot of fun
So "Go,
Cubs, Go," let those bats fly
Make it
another win for good old Jim Frey
He has led
your team all the way
Through all the games from day to day.
So go get 'em,
Cubs. Holy Cow!
We have a
playoff to win now.
I'll be
rocking and listen from my old rocking chair
Wishing with
all me heart I could be there
Pulling for
the Cubs as I've never done before
The World Series to win in 1984.
"Holy
Mackerel," the end of the season draws near
But I'll be
back with the Cubs next year
Tuned into
radio station WGN
Waiting for
the Cubs games to begin again
Harry, Milo,
Vince, Lou and me, all five
Another World Series to win in 1985.
Love those Cubs.
Mrs. Katie Dobey
Age 75 |
