Cavarretta and Grimm are correct. Lane Tech is a high school near Wrigley Field. Cavarretta attended the school, signed with the Cubs right after graduation and immediately played for the Cubs. Grimm was his manager.

Baseball's appeal isn't complicated or confusing. It's about the beauty of the game; it's about heroes and family and friends; it's about being part of something larger than yourself, about tradition---receiving it and passing it; and it's about holding on to a bit of your childhood.
