Veterans Hope For Cubs/Red Sox Series ____________________________________________ Old Cubs Basking In Championship Glow UPDATED: 5:21 p.m. CDT October 9, 2003 nbc5.com CHICAGO -- While the 2003 version of the Cubs travel to Miami for Games 3, 4 and 5 of the National League Championship Series, some former Cubs are basking in the championship glow. "It's wonderful," said former Cubs ace Steve Trout. "I'm sticking around Chicago longer than I otherwise would. I want to be a part of this great Octoberfest we are having." "I tell you, they are having a wonderful year," said former Cubs great Milt Pappas. "[Manager] Dusty Baker is doing a great job. I've known the guy for many, many years and I love the guy. Now the players are falling in love with Dusty." Pappas, along with Trout, Lee Smith and Jay Johnstone, are part of a charity baseball game Thursday night in Joliet at Silver Cross Field, NBC5's Charlie Wojciechowski reported on Thursday. "Wrigley Field is always where people come to see the ballpark," Smith (pictured, left) said. "Now, they come to see the team. They got a lot of exciting things happening there." To a man, these former Chicago Cubs hold a special place in their heart for Cubs fans, Wojciechowski reported. Fans who, they say, deserve a championship. "Whether you win or lose, you are always going to be a Cubs fan," Johnstone said. "A couple of times they've come close. I think this year the curse of the goat is going to go away." Even the "Mad Hungarian," Cardinal left-hander Al Hrabosky (pictured, right) is reluctantly wearing Cub Blue. And while the old Cubs are rooting for the new Cubs, they are also rooting for the Boston Red Sox. They say they would love to see a Wrigley field/Fenway Park World Series. "I think as a baseball fan it has been long enough," Hrabosky said. "I am willing to give up all my cocktail jokes and one of these curses has to be eliminated this year."
