1993 Cotton Bowl

1993 was a good sports year for Chicago in general and especially for the large elements of the Windy City fan base that root for Notre Dame football. Michael Jordan’s Bulls won their third straight NBA title, the White Sox won the AL West (this was the last year before realignment created a Central Division in each league) and Notre Dame rolled to an Orange Bowl victory and what should have been a national championship. We should probably even be more specific about where it was a good year for Chicago—you’d have to be on the South Side and in the Irish neighborhoods. The Notebook takes a look back on how the year unfolded.
