Sleeping with the (baseball) enemy – Chicago Tribune

Posted: Monday, October 17, 2016

As a lifelong Los Angeles Dodgers fan, Bob Higgins relished Sunday’s Game 2 victory over the Cubs.

And for the sake of his marriage, he relished Saturday’s Game 1 loss.

“I did text him during the game,” Bob’s wife, Jo Higgins, told me, “saying if he brought home a Los Angeles victory, the locks would be changed.”

The Higgins, who live in Hinsdale, share a deeply rooted love for baseball and a devout allegiance to the Cubs — except when the North Siders face Bob’s beloved Dodgers. On Saturday, Bob watched the game at Wrigley Field with their son (a Cubs fan), while Jo watched from home.
