I started to follow the cubs in 1967 at age of 9. We didn't get WGN TV in our illinois area so I was WGN radio - vince and lou- all the way. We would get an occasional Sunday TV broadcast with Jack B. from our local tv affiliate. In 1969, we spent the summer in Amsterdam with family and I was limited to the occasional radio broadcast of Cub games on armed forces radio. So, I actually missed out on much of the excitement of that season, just witnessed the crappy September.
Growing up, Many fond memories listening to Lou Boudreau on my transistor radio during late night west coast road trips when I was suppose to be asleep.
