Well, then!

Why I want Michael J. Fox to appear at Wrigley Field this year

I am so loving this playoff season! I am honestly surprised we're here, and I'm delighted by every moment. It's good baseball and it's engaging. No matter where we end up, I'll always be grateful for the 2015 season.

Oh, and by the way ... I see a lot of movies, but one I missed was Back to the Future II. Therefore, I didn't know until recently that in 1989, audiences saw Michael J. Fox/Marty McFly discover that the 2015 Cubs won the World Series. How cool would it be if life imitated art?
