Talent ain't everything.

Attitude. I like attitudes. Especially in baseball. It’s a team sport. Congeniality. Players playing together. Good camaraderie. It all blends together. And often can make up for lack of talent. The most talented team doesn’t always get to the World Series. More often, it’s the team with a winning attitude. Convinced that it can win. Baseball is a head game, too. Your head has to be in the game. Confidence. That’s what I’m banking on this season. With my Chicago Cubs. I like the approach of the Cubs management. Bringing in players with the right attitudes. To form a winning blend. The Cubs won’t be the most talented team. But hey, talent ain’t everything. –Jim Broede
