The Chicago Cubune (paper that owns the Cubs) has declared that the Chicago White Sox are the most popular baseball team in town based on polling from an independent source. The White Sox had about 300,000 less in attendance, however the Sox count people that actually attend the game, whereas the Cubs count paid attendance (even when they sell to their own scalper- they count those too).
So is it possible that the myth that the Cubs are more popular than the Chicago White Sox will go away? Or will the lemmings still believe the hype that the Cubs are the team to see in the windy city?
Oh, and if you look at attendance further out than just the last 10 years, you'll see that the Sox consistently outdrew the Cubs. Not until Steroid Sammy went to the Northside did the Flubs draw more people.
