One small consolation at this week’s National League Championship games: Chicago Baseball publisher Matt Smerge and his team in the mustard-yellow shirts were back on the sidewalks adjacent to Wrigley Field, hawking their alternative Cubs program, as they have through a slog of dreary seasons that preceded this year’s delirium.
“I’m known as a depressive winner,” Smerge’s attorney Mark Weinberg said Wednesday of the preliminary victory, “but this time, I was thrilled.” Weinberg and his cocounsel will present their case to the appellate court next month.
