A LETTER FROM ERNIE

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!
