“He was by no means a Cubs fan, so I do not know the place it got here from,” John Presto mentioned. “He’s at all times been a Sox fan. Our mom was a Cubs fan. I do not know. I’m most likely there and our dad was a Cardinal fan, so I do not know the place he got here from.
“And they had been all Cubs followers, as all of our aunts, our mother’s household, got here from the north.”
In addition to his brother’s testimony, the Sun Times of Chicago created a photograph that claimed to be the long run clergy adorned with Chisox gear as Southsiders opposed the Astros within the 2005 World Series.
