It kind of went with the territory - if you were a White Sox fan you were a Cardinals fan, and if you were a Cub fan you were a Bears fan. That was not easy in the 1930's when the Cubs were going to the World Series and the Bears were dominating the NFL.

My dad eventually did become a Bears fan, but it took him 15 years after the Cardinals left to fully get there - and when the Cardinals left they were dead to him as they were with just about all their former fans. There really was no such thing as a St. Louis Cardinal fan in Chicago. Fortunately he wasn't one of THOSE people who became Packer fans.
