Not really sure how this works on a remote basis, but Cubs fan @ClueHeywood has figured out how to play the Chicago Cubs anthem “Go Cubs Go” on as many St. Louis bar jukeboxes as possible. It seems that there’s an app from AMI, the jukebox maker, that will let you request songs in select bars. So Clue Heywood just looks up which bars are Cardinals bars, throws in a credit – no clue how much it is to play a song, maybe a quarter? – and the jukebox does its thing.
And it just happens that Steve Goodman’s Cubs anthem is in the AMI system.
I've played "Go Cubs Go" at all the available St. Louis bars so I'm moving on to the Illinois suburbs. pic.twitter.com/h2kWGliL8s

Attention St. Louis-area bartenders: I can tell when you skip “Go Cubs Go.” That’s just gonna get you more “Go Cubs Go.”

The final cost:
Two hours and $50 later I'm satisfied with my troll of the so-called Best Fans in Baseball. I have to get back to work. Go Cubs Go.
