12. 1984 - that's the year the Cubs were defeated by the Padres

Tue Jul 15, 2025, 11:15 PM

Tuesday

when the Cubbies were one game away from going to the World Series. Broke my heart. As soon as the Padres scored their first run in that game, I knew it was all over for the Cubs and I started crying.

I was happy for the Tigers, though.

Later on that year, one of the radio stations broadcasted a fantasy 7th game of the World Series between the Cubs and the Tigers. They entered stats from each team into a computer to determine who would've won. Harry Caray did the play-by-play for part of the game and Ernie Harwell did it for the other part. The Tigers won, of course, but it was still fun to listen to.
