He may not be around today, but Abe Lincoln was at that last Cub World Series victory when the Cubs beat the Detroit Tigers in like, eighteen or nineteen hundred-something. Pretty sure I read that somewhere - he was this big Cub fan and there was the deal with the hat? Some guy yelled "Down with the hat!" and that became the familiar "Down in front!" we all hear today?
I think he threw out the first pitch for that series.
Anyway Kosuke, I am positive that if he were alive today our President would want you to play right field for the Cubs.
So put away any doubts about coming to the states and get on a plane, dude.
Chicago will welcome you with open arms.
