Chicago VS Pittsburgh

In honor of the upcoming series between the Pirates and Cubs, I wanted to give the tale of the tape between the two cities. I have lived in both cities so I feel that I could be a better judge than a midget in a dunk contest. That doesn't make sense. DING! Here we go...

Food

Chicago - Deep, deep, deep dish pizza

Pittsburgh--Primantis.

ADVANTAGE: Push, both are completely terrible for your health but amazing in taste.

Hometown Celeb

Chicago - Oprah

Pittsburgh - Micheal Keaton

Advantage: Pittsburgh.  Mr. Mom, Beetlejuice, Batman....need I say more.

Last World Series

Chicago - Nobody remembers.

Pittsburgh - 1979

Advantage: Pittsburgh. If Steve Bartman was not born, this category could have gone the other way.

Local Brew

Chicago - Old Style

Pittsburgh - Iron City

Advantage: Push. Imagine drinking melted plastic. They both taste like that

My Best Baseball Memory

Chicago - Getting my first single in my first tee ball game

Pittsburgh - Watching three drunk dudes get thrown out of Three Rivers Stadium for running and sliding in the rain on top of the Pirates Dugout.

Advantage: Pittsburgh. Any questions?!?

Current MLB Star

Chicago - TIE: Derek Lee and Alfonso Soriano

Pittsburgh - Jason Bay

Advantage: Chicago. No reason really, they just get paid more.

Current MLB Role Player

Chicago - Mark DeRosa, 2nd Baseman

Pittsburgh - Jose Bautista, 3rd Baseman

Advantage: Push. I really cant find any legitimate reason for either of the two players to win any category that they are nominated in. Ever.

Tallest Building

Chicago - Sears Tower

Pittsburgh - US Steel Building

Advantage: Chicago. The Sears Tower has more of an economic responsibility in today's society and we depend on it to....shut up steve.
