I love the Yankees and all, but this Cubs fan is a true die-hard:
Tragic news from Chicago: On Sunday, just before the Cubs' game against the Reds, 28-year-old Maureen Oleskiewicz -- teacher and devoted Cubs fan -- died in the Wrigley Field stands after choking on a hot dog, reports the Chicago Tribune.
Oleskiewicz, who was at the game with her younger brother, didn't display the usual signs of choking, the paper reported. Rather, she merely slumped over and was unable to be revived by medical personnel. She was pronounced dead on Tuesday at a nearby Chicago hospital.
"It's horrifying," said Oleskiewicz's mother. "We're beyond devastated. A new word has to be invented to describe the pain we're feeling."
There's no such thing as comfort in a terrible situation such as this, but the closest thing to consolation for the Oleskiewicz family is that Maureen was kept alive long enough to become an organ donor. Her mother says she was told Maureen's heart was donated to a 14-year-old girl who needed it desperately.
The Cubs released the following statement:
