Customer Reviews
If you bleed Cub Blue… or not!
Even if you were not a Cub fan during the 60’s, you should listen to these GREAT episodes. Jeff and his wife have put together interviews of some of the iconic Cub players from several different decades, and some of his performer friends that just happen to “bleed Cub Blue” so multiple generations of fans will enjoy them. But even if you are not a Cub fan, (my condolences…LOL)…no really, because of Jeff’s unique perspective from having grown up (literally) in Wrigley, and having built and kept relationships with many of his dad’s teammates… he will be able to bring you back to those times when you would “die” to be able to watch your childhood heroes in the friendly confines…and while you listen to him talk about baseball, you might also get some free “pearls of wisdom “ on life itself. I promise you, if you spend 1 hour listening to any episode, you’ll be hooked. Good thing Jeff and Christie have plenty to keep you company as you “drive down your road of memories.”
Awesome
Great show, great memories!
