Young Cubs Fan Might Actually Prefer School To Cubs Game

↵
↵Every TV correspondent knows they take their lives into their hands when they stick a microphone in front of a child. Kids have no filter. They’re liable to say just about anything. Kids, after all, say the darndest things, or so I’ve been told.↵↵Sometimes this pays off as sheer brilliance, as the famous “I like turtles” video illustrates. But other times, it backfires horribly, as in the case of this young tyke failing to work up any interest whatsoever in the Cubs home opener today. In the kid’s defense, his baseball nut family made him get up at 3:30 a.m. so he could drive two hours into the city, then stand around in a bar for seven more hours before the game even starts. I dare say, the kid might actually rather be in school today, just so he would have gotten a full night of sleep and not have to stand cheek by jowl with a couple dozen rowdy drunks for seven hours. This kid might be ruined for baseball for life.↵
