Most fans at Wrigley are watching the game. That's why it instantly gets so loud when something happens.

Barack Obama quote regarding Cubs games at Wrigley Field

Barack Obama's quote regarding Cubs games at Wrigley Field...
Source: Wall Street Journal

Quote:
Sen. Barack Obama insulted his home-state team, or at least the people who attend its games, when he professed his love for the crosstown White Sox in an interview with ESPN. “I’m not one of these fair weather fans,” Sen. Obama said. “You go to Wrigley Field, you have a beer, beautiful people up there. People aren’t watching the game. It’s not serious. White Sox, that’s baseball.”

Obama win puts White Sox fan in the White House

Quote:
Boyer recalled a report from the campaign trail by WLS-Ch. 7's Andy Shaw in which it was noted that Obama delayed a speech because Sox pitcher Gavin Floyd had a no-hitter going and the candidate wanted to see how it played out.

Obama team sweeps news media into Cubs-Sox rivalry

Quote:
Reporters were assigned seats in one of two sections, one to Obama's left, designated the "Cubs" section, and the other to his right, designated " White Sox." Team assignments appeared to be arbitrary.

Obama is a die-hard White Sox fan, but when it came time to take questions, he didn't favor reporters on that side. Instead, his seemingly random selections were pre-determined by aides.

Blagojevich and buying the Cubs

December 10, 2008 by diana, 1 year 13 weeks ago

We've all heard that the Gov is accused of trying to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat for around a million dollars. Perhaps Blagojevich made a decimal point error...it will probably take a billion to purchase his favorite baseball team.

Rod Blagojevich may have undervalued Barack Obama's Senate seat, finance records show

President Obama and basketball

New president makes history — and baskets
Posted Jan 21, 2009

Sample from article:

Quote:
When somebody asks Obama, “Hey, you want to run one?” he knows they’re not talking about a political campaign. “Run one” means play basketball, one-on-one, three-on-three, five-on-five, whatever.

When somebody says, “I got one,” Obama knows they’re not talking about a scandal with an intern. Obama knows that when somebody says, “I got one,” it means they’ve been fouled.
