My late father grew up on the south side of Chicago, rooting for the White Sox and the NFL Chicago Cardinals. I'm sure he was excited when the Cardinals won the NFL title in 1947, before they moved to St. Louis and then to Arizona.
He'd be amazed to see the way things stand now, with the Cardinals headed to the Super Bowl for the first time ever and a fellow Chicagoan and White Sox fan about to be inaugurated as the nation's first African-American president.
He would have been pleased by all of it.
