Comes that whimsical time of year of most Septembers in Twinkie-land where boys and girls of summer have to start locking in their secondary teams that will still be playing base-ball in the autumn.
The Cubs are always my go-to, since I lived about 4 blocks from Wrigley after leaving the Cities. For the AL, I'm going to go against my very DNA and start rooting for the White Sox. I'd love to see a Red Line Series. Heck, I'd even go back there to catch it.
(Caveat: of course, literally anyone other than NY, Bos, LA, or any Texas or Florida outfit.)
