Provided by Cubs fans as a service to Theo Epstein, so he can focus on the important stuff.
As someone who lived in Boston for several years and now lives on the Cubs/Cards Mason-Dixon line in downstate Illinois, I feel I'm in a unique position to help Theo Epstein transition to his new job as GM of the Chicago Cubs. With that in mind, I made this handy chart of people, places, and things Mr. Epstein encountered every day in Boston and their equivalents in Chicago—or, as the natives call it, Rum City.*
