It was the early 90’s. I graduated from high school in California in 1992 and was pulled away from the sunny skies and fair atmosphere a week later. (IF THAT!)
My then stepfather got a new job and I was forced to move. No time for my high school graduation to set in or any chance to go to at least ONE graduation party. The economy was tough (even back then) and I was torn away with NO chance to argue.
As always however I try to look at the bright side of things! The sports teams were EXCELLENT in Chicago before I was there. The Bears (an NFL football franchisee) went 15-1 losing only to the dolphins that are the only team to go undefeated in a season. (Alas that happened in 1972) a full year before I was even born.
Also during this time the NBA team did pretty darn good. Michael Jordon a former North Carolina Tar Heels came to town and help lead the Bulls to 6 NBA Champions ships. He (they) did it in an odd way too.
The first run was 3 championships in a row. The then took a sabbatical for two seasons and came back to win three more in a row to shock everybody whom followed basketball. As well a few who did not. (Guess who “retired” for a couple of seasons in the middle of the run.)
Let me tell you I was blown away by the fantastic sports teams in that time. I am even fond of a nickname given to a baseball player during those daze. He was known as the Big Hurt. Which of the two professional Baseball franchises did he play for? You will have to figure that one out for yourself.
