Still waiting for next year.

I would happily manage the Chicago Cubs. For free. In fact, I would pay the Cubs if they hired me. Yes, I’m a Cubs fan. Addicted. Since childhood. I’m 78. And it’s been a long, long time waiting for the Cubs to win a World Series. Last time that happened was 1908. But hey, there’s a consolation. I remember 1945.  When I was a 10-year-old kid. Listening to the radio. The Cubs were playing the Detroit Tigers. In the World Series. And the Cubs lost the seventh and deciding  game.  That makes me an elite. Imagine that. I was alive. Way back then. The last time the Cubs almost did it. Thank gawd. Haven’t run out of time.  I'm still waiting for next year. –Jim Broede
