Chicago The windy city has always been in the spot light for giving sports fan exciting and wining teams. Be it Bulls, Bears or Cubs. Chicago Bulls Never ever have one city experienced such a big showbiz than Chicago when Michael Jordan was tearing apart the opponents with his jumpers and dunks to give bulls 6 championships in 8 eight years. Jordan , Pippen and Phil Jackson showed the world the basketball which nobody has even come close to repeating. And don't forget Dennis Rodman the showman of Bulls.
Chicago Bears The Chicago Bears were a founding member of the American Professional Football Association in 1920, which would later become the National Football League. The Bears adopted the colors Navy Blue and Burnt Orange in tribute to their founder George Halas' alma mater, the University of Illinois. The Chicago Bears Fight song, "Bear Down, Chicago Bears" was written by Al Hoffman in 1941. The words are:
Bear Down, Chicago Bears
Let every play clear the way to victory
Bear Down, Chicago Bears
Put up a fight with a might so
fearlessly
We'll never forget the way you
thrilled the nation
With your T-formation
Bear Down, Chicago Bears,
and let them know why you're
wearing the crown
You're the pride and joy
of Illinois
Chicago Bears, Bear Down
Chicago Cubs Sammy Sosa or Dusty Baker or both of them who ever did it Cubs are at top for now and that what it matters. Sosa cork bat controversy and then Sosa coming back with 2 home run hit in a game. What a exciting season going on for Cubs. The Chicago Cubs have represented the same city in the major leagues longer than any other club. Organized in 1870 to provide a professional challenge to Cincinnati's Red Stockings, the White Stockings (as they were originally know) were one of the founding members of the game's first professional league- the National Association- the next year. Despite the great Chicago fire, which destroyed their ballpark, uniforms, and club business records late in the 1871 season, the White Stockings completed their schedule, finishing a second to the Athletics of Philadelphia. But they dropped out of the NA for the next two years because of the fire's devastation. In 1875, in the midst of a second losing season following their return, the club arranged for four of champion Boston's best players to jump to Chicago for the 1876 season. That winter, White Stocking president William A. Hulbert and pitcher/manager Al Spalding (one of the jumpers) led into forming a new league to replace the NA.
