You gotta believe. As a team. To be a success. In baseball.
Seems to me. That the Chicago Cubs. Have lost a belief in themselves. Since
they won the World Series in 2016. I see
that some prognosticators have them finishing last in their five-team division
this year. Maybe that’ll motivate the Cubs. Hope so. But I’m worried. That the
motivation isn’t there. The belief in themselves. They probably need a
full-time team psychiatrist. A reminder that baseball. Is, in large part, a mind
game. That’s what I like about baseball. More than any other sport. It takes
more than raw skill. More than natural talent. To win over a long, 162-game
season. You have to come to play. As a
team. With verve and vigor. Every day. Simply for the love of the game. And not merely go through the motions. Takes real effort. Dedication. From one and
all. No let up. That’s what the Cubs had. In 2016. A once-in-a-lifetime
experience. All I’m asking for. Is a twice-in-a-lifetime achievement. Yes,
anything is possible. But first. You gotta believe. --Jim Broede
