The first place Chicago White Sox play the Cubs this weekend, and I'll be in Ohio. General perceptions of those living outside the Chicago area are incorrect: Not everyone here is a Cubs fan.
The Daily Southtown has a good article about the rivalry, and this paragraph sums up my beliefs on the difference between Sox and Cubs fans perfectly.
The White Sox call working-class Bridgeport home, while the Cubbies reside in trendy 20-something hub Wrigleyville. South Siders see themselves as real sports fans. They believe the average Cubs fan is preppy and disconnected. On the South Side, baseball's a passion. On the North Side, baseball is an amusement and Wrigley is an amusement park.
Go White Sox!
