Dear Cub Fans,
I was lucky enough to play every day of my baseball career for
the best fans in the world - Cub fans. It’s my love of the game,
the Cubs and the fans that led me to accept the position of
Chairman of the West Side Rooters Social Club. The West Side
Rooters, founded in 1908, was the first official fan club of the
Chicago Cubs. Members took their job seriously - they engaged
in “scientific rooting” and other activities all geared toward
helping the Cubs win a World Series. And win they did.
However, following the 1908 World Series win, the Club was
disbanded.
Now, 100 years later, we’ve brought it back and we want loyal
Cub fans everywhere to be a part of it. That’s why it’s absolutely
free to join. So join me, Ryne Sandberg, Dutchie Caray and
Grant DePorter and fans around the world as we work together to bring back the spirit of the West Side Rooters Social Club. And remember, Let’s play two!
