I love hearing names you would never have thought of the rest of your life if they didn't come up out of the blue....like Bill Madlock.
That guy had to be one of the most under-rated players of all time.
Led the league in Batting 4 times:
.359
.339
.341
.323
15 years, lifetime .305. Would have been higher if his last 2 years didn't drag that number down.
Glad you patched him up, he was one of the best 70's Cubs.
And that long list of Cub managers: Herman Franks, Lee Elia, Dallas Green, Jim Frey, Don Zimmer, etc. etc - You always had hope........til about a month or 2 in, but then still never gave up.
And I'll admit when they won it in 2016, I was also kinda hoping they would choke it away, and almost did. I was torn that World Series, wanting them to win it and wanting them to lose it. Craziest feeling. So many people died all those years and never got to see it happen, those are who I would have wanted to see it.
I wanted them to win it when Harry was there, after Harry died it wasn't the same.
