Imagine. A family. That qualifies as billionaires. Many
times over. Buying the Chicago Cubs baseball team. For almost $1 billion. Then
gutting the team. Making it one of the worst in major league baseball. In last
place. Season after season. With one of the lowest payrolls. Telling the fans.
That austerity is good. To please put up with losing for a while longer.
Because losing will eventually return dividends. In higher picks in the annual draft of amateur
baseball talent. In trades of the best remaining older veteran talent on the
team for young and talented prospects. Yes, Cubs fans being told. Keep the
faith, baby. Some day, Nirvana will arrive. The Cubs will win the World Series
again. A feat that hasn’t happened since 1908. Seems like forever. Waiting. Waiting.
Waiting. Makes one wonder. If it’s all a
sham. Or the real thing. –Jim Broede
