Tallyho Party Unites Cubs Fans

West Side Rooters Social Club Brings Back Traditions of the Glory Days

It’s been 100 years since the Cubs have won the World Series, and fans are buzzing that this could be the year for the Cubs. The West Side Rooters Social Club is making sure this fantasy becomes a reality by bringing back the traditions of 1908. The first official Cubs fan club is back to lead a traditional “Tallyho Party”, or parade, on Friday, August 8th, 2008, exactly 100 years to the day after one of the original West Side Rooters Tallyho parties.

The “Tallyho Party” will be aboard double decker buses from Chicago Trolley & Double Decker Company. Over 60 West Side Rooters members, including Chairman and Hall of Fame Cub Ernie Banks, will cheer and celebrate atop the double decker buses all the way from Harry Caray’s Italian Steakhouse at 12:00pm to Harry Caray’s Tavern across from Wrigley Field. A full brass instrument band will also be playing the sounds of the early 1900s on top of the Chicago Trolley Double Decker bus

The original West Side Rooters disbanded after the 1908 World Series championship, and the rebirth of the club may be just what the Cubs need to break their karma curse. The original Rooters often organized Tallyho Parties, which included Cubs fans playing instruments and cheering as they rode in carriages and bicycles to games.

A VISIT WITH GOOSE GOSSAGE

Goose Gossage, former Chicago Cub and very recent (last Sunday) MLB Hall
of Fame inductee, will be in Chicago on Friday, August 8.

Goose is traveling to different ballparks around the country to help
raise money for inner city youth baseball leagues. The Chicago stop is
the fourth stop of the tour. While in Chicago, Goose will be holding a
special baseball clinic for kids of the local Chicago Cubs Reviving
Baseball in Inner-Cities (RBI) program, which is run by the Union League
Boys & Girls Club.

Goose will also be singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the
Cardinals vs Cubs game that day. Maybe you can have Goose give your
viewers a sneak peak of his version of the song on air? :-)

The company making this all possible and donating the money is
AutoTrader.com. Goose is obtaining autographs from major league
baseball players in each city he visits on a hood of a customized 2008
Tahoe. To date - there are more than 100 signatures on the hood!
AutoTrader.com is donating $1,000 per signature on the hood. The Tahoe
will be auctioned off at the end of the tour and all proceeds will go to
the local inner city youth baseball programs affiliated with each city.
The Web site for the program is www.autotrader.com/newstart.
