Not only did Mr. Schlegel witness war, but he was also a lifelong Chicago Cub fan. He witnessed Cubbie history at Wrigley Field twice. "He talked about the Cubs 365 days a year. It wasn't just from April to September," according to his son Bill. "It was all the time."
The first time he watched a Cubs game was in 1945 when he saw games 6 and 7 of the World Series and he still had the tickets to prove it.
Then in 2016, when the Cubs went to the World Series, the family started a GoFundMe page for him, but Marcus Lemonis gave him and his son some of the best seats in the house.
Quite the life.
