The Mafia Head to the World Series

Are you a Cubs fan?  I get this question so often especially in light of the recent Chicago Cubs' success and due to the crazy amount of Cubs gear Memfis and I have collected over the last few years.  Each time I get this question, I launch into the story that set us on a …
