No to either Cusack

All those mentioned are largely irrelevant and/or over-loved in Chicagoans' eyes now. What I want to know is why none of you Cubbie fans have mentioned the biggest Cubbie fan (in Hollywood & the rest of the country's view).

Hillary!

Can I get rulings on Billy Corgan, Stephen Colbert, and Vince Vaughn?

I thought Corgan was a Sox fan?

He runs a vegan tea-and-pastries shop in Highland Park. If he was a Sox fan, they kicked him out.

The elitism here is amusing as hell.

Actor Bob Newhart, 86, who grew up in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, can still recite the starting lineups from the Cubs teams of his youth in the late 1930s and early 1940s, including third baseman Stan Hack, shortstop Billy Jergus and right fielder Bill Nicholson.

In 1945, at age 16, Newhart remembers cheering as he watched the Cubs parade down LaSalle Street to celebrate winning the National League pennant.

"All the able-bodied men were off to war. That was the last time the Cubs won the pennant," he said.

He also remembers seeing the Cubs' one-armed outfielder, Pete Gray, catch the ball with his one hand, tuck his mitt under his bad arm, and then throw the ball to the infield.

After he became famous, Newhart still frequently went to Cubs games and often signed autographs for kids who recognized him at Wrigley Field. One night years later, while he was waiting to do "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson," actor John Belushi came into the green room and introduced himself.

"He said, 'Do you remember, at a Cubs ballgame, when you signed some baseballs for kids? I was one of those kids,'" Newhart said.

Newhart! Pfft,,,,totally stuck up aloof Hollywood guy!
