I remember my first Cubs game. My 36 came to take me to it. It was a Saturday. When we got there, it was so 37. We had tickets for seats far back. But I could see 38. I saw the whole field. It was much better than watching it on TV.
Then the game started. Everyone 39. The man next to me said, “This is going to be the year. They are playing really well.” My uncle said to 40, “Let’s hope this is the one.” But then he whispered(低声说) to me, “Jerome, we’ll have to wait and see. Remember last year? They started out good and then they 41 in the end.”
“Hey, hey, hey!” The Cubs batter hit a ball far to the wall. Just then I heard “Hot dogs!” “Peanuts!” “Two hot dogs!” my uncle 42.
While I had been watching the 43, the team had struck out(出局). It went on that way for the rest of the 44. We got peanuts. We even got another hot dog. And the Cubs kept losing. One by one they struck out. 45, everyone stayed happy. Even in the end. The score was 7 to 0. The Cubs never got a run.
When we were on the way home, I asked my uncle, “46 was everyone so sure they would win next time?” “That’s what it means to be a Cubs 47. We believe in tomorrow. Every year we hope. Every game we hope. That’s loyalty(忠诚). Cubs fans are loyal. It’s about 48 your team no matter what. And it’s about 49. Did you have fun?”
“Yes, it was 50 fun. I see what you mean. Even when they lost, it was still fun. Thanks for taking me.”
