In today's Los Angeles Times: Heat Index

The Chicago Cubs and White Sox are each leading their divisions and fans from both sides are eagerly awaiting their next series, which begins June 20. So, seeking to capitalize on the build-up, the Chicago Sun-Times is running a poll to determine which team is hotter.

Oops. Sorry. Make that, which team's fans are hotter.

The newspaper's website is running photo galleries of fans -- based on what's posted you would think women fill 90% of the seats at games -- and asking readers to vote on which team draws the better lookers.

As of late Friday afternoon, the Cubs were in the lead, with 62% of the more than 8,000 votes cast. Oh, just in case anybody cares, the Cubs also started the day with the better record among the baseball teams, 39-22 to 33-26.
