The perils of beautiful environs.

I have another theory. About why my Chicago Cubs are perennial losers. Because they play in the most beautiful ballpark in the world. That can be distracting. For the Cubs players. They are used to marveling at the magnificence of it all. Counting their blessings. For the privilege of playing at Wrigley Field. So they aren't as focused on baseball. Instead, they are captivated over the beauty of their home field. In less attractive environs, it's easier for players to concentrate on the actual game. Fewer distractions. --Jim Broede
