Chicago faces rare September _ a treat for the fans.(Chicago Tribune)
Byline: Phil Rogers
CHICAGO _ OK, Father Time, when was the last time this happened?
Go ahead. Go ask your Grandpa George of your Great Uncle Earl. When was the last time both Chicago baseball teams entered September with a serious chance to make the playoffs?
They'll try hard to give you an answer. They might remember something as recent as 1993 or `72. Chances are, they'll have to search even further, however.
What about `67, when the White Sox were in that great four-team race and the Cubs were entering the era of close calls with Ernie Banks, Billy Williams and Ron Santo? Perhaps back in the late `30s, when there were consistently good teams on both sides of town.
All of those seem like reasonable possibilities. But as you know, reason has little to do with the generational angst that is Chicago baseball.
What your grandfather should say is this: "Sorry, Junior, not in my lifetime."
