If your idea of comfy is a suit and tie, please feel free to wear that....YUCK! As for me, I will be wearing a World Series Champion Cubs T-shirt!! I would like all my sports crazed friends and family to celebrate my life in shorts, jeans, and most of all, your favorite sports shirt, jersey or sweater."
