That’s My Hometown

We Ruttenbergs are Cubs people. My mother was a rabid, and I mean rabid, fan. To root for the White Sox, as far as I was raised to be concerned, was a little bit like committing avodah zarah.
(And yes, it’s midnight Jerusalem time and I am Wide! Awake! Sigh.)
Regarding your avodah zarah point — I have long argued that my father-in-law’s real religion is baseball.
