    Christian Ruzich - a lifelong Chicago Cubs fan - joins the show to discuss his fandom. He and Aaron discussed memorable seasons including the 1984 team that made it to the NLCS before losing to the Padres, the 1989 surprise season, and the infamous 2003 playoff collapse involving the Steve Bartman incident. They explored the Cubs' struggles to find a consistent third baseman from 1982 to 2002, discussed the controversial retirement and later return of Ryne Sandberg, and examined the Sammy Sosa era including the 1998 home run chase. The conversation culminated in a detailed discussion of the 2016 World Series championship run, with Christian sharing his favorite moments from each playoff series including Javy Baez's home run in game one of the Division Series, Kyle Hendricks' performance against Clayton Kershaw in game six of the NLCS, and the dramatic bottom of the 10th inning in game seven of the World Series. Christian explained that his lifelong fandom stems from being "found" by the team rather than choosing to follow them.
