My dad has been internet famous for the last 24 hours. He and my mom were at the NLCS last night. Before the game my mom was in the dugout store buying yet more Giants stuff and my dad was waiting out on the sidewalk when a reporter for the Chron came up and asked to take his picture. Even though he and my mom have had Giants season tix forever, he always wears a Cubs hat because that's his hometown team. And he was wearing an Ernie Banks jersey, an early Xmas present from my sister. The guy tweeted his picture and it got picked up by some Chicago sports bloggers and then it got picked up by an ESPN guy.

He's now a hero among his hometown fans.
