I just learned that the first recorded rendition of the infamous "Who's on first" was in 1945. Coincidentally, 1945 was the last time the Cubs were in the World Series. I think the Cubs have simply been taking advice from the wrong guys this whole time!!
Quick history lesson on what things have been like since the Cubs were in the World Series:

1945 - The Slinky was invented
Hotties of the time - Lauren Bacall, Ingrid Bergman, Betty Grable
1945 - United Nations created
1945 - Percy Spencer accidentally discovers that microwaves can heat food
In 1945 only 5,000 homes have Television Sets
1945 - Assembly of the world's first general purpose electronic computer is completed. It covers 1800 feet of floor space.
