Happy 25th, Lee Elia! (NSFW)

Warning: the audio heard here is not safe for work. At all.
The rant heard in this video is an all-time Chicago classic. You think you've heard sport rants before? Trust me, this beats Jim Mora's "Playoffs?!" and Dennis Green's "They are who we thought they were" rants hands-down.
Little bit of history: the Cubs didn't always rule Chicago's baseball fandom. The Sox could have had their games carried on WGN, which reaches a large part of the country, just like the Cubs. That, and the '84 team's run built up their popularity.
God bless Lee Elia. Hope he doesn't get beaned at Wrigley tomorrow.
