I used to call my dad, a die hard Cubs fan, every opening day & tell him he might as well make up his mind early to wait'll next year. Lol

Sadly, he passed in 2008 & didn't get to see them win in 2016, but there was lots of colorful conversation watching Riggleman pull everybody, 1 by 1, in ffim the field to try pitching.

Good times!

“If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be.”

He answered “A Cub tree!” and got the job.

I can see Jed Hoyer asking that question.
