Closer to my favorite sport.

I’m sensing from what I read that the Chicago Cubs like being the Chicago Cubs. Really, that’s important. For a baseball team. Because attitude makes a difference. Especially when it comes to a team sport. If players like what they are doing. And if they learn to function as a unit. Downplaying the ‘me’ and emphasizing the ‘we,’ it’s more likely to produce winning baseball. And even if it doesn’t, it still makes for more pleasure, more fun. Therefore, as a lifelong Cubs fan, I’m feeling more encouraged, more confident going into the new baseball season. Which starts Monday. Another reason to savor my return to America, from Italy. Brings me closer to my favorite sport. –Jim Broede
