One of the great clichés of journalism is the Wall Street reaction shot. Usually, it's some poor, haggard vest-wearing schlub with his hands touching some part of his agonized face. Taken out of contest, it can look like the subject has a bad headache, has just been shot with tear gas, or is about to puke.
There've been a lot of these pictures lately.
But guess what I've discovered? Unfortunately, the cliché is seeping into coverage of the Chicago Cubs and their downtrodden, panic-stricken fans who also are about to puke.
Here's your challenge: Can you correctly identify in the photos below which poor souls are Wall Street traders and which are Waveland Avenue Cubs fans?
Good luck and be glad you're neither.

I think I know that downtrodden guy in the white t-shirt. He's one of those Cubs fans I think. He looks more Main Street than Wall Street.
