This 90-year-old, Jäger-slamming Cubs fan has stolen our hearts

James Dator
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Ninety-year-old Dorothy Farrell became a sensation when the longtime Cubs season ticket holder said she’d celebrate the team’s World Series berth with Jägermeister. WGN in Chicago couldn’t resist meeting up before Game 1 and starting the party early.

Farrell is just the best. She’s been planted in her season ticket season since 1984 and experienced every up and down over that time. Now she can celebrate with the best of them. So many props to Dorothy for holding her liquor at that age. She didn’t just do one shot on camera, she took MULTIPLE — all while slamming people who use smart phones and having no clue what a sports blog is.

So Dorothy, I know you’ll never read this — but I think you’re awesome and hope to be half as cool as you if I’m lucky enough to live to be 90.
