The day my wife and I took down our holiday decorations, I replaced the coasters on the coffee table that featured snowmen with ones that showcase big plays from the Cubs‘ 2016 World Series run.
When we looked at houses recently, the one thing on my ‘must-have’ list? A basement I could transform into a living monument to my Cubs fandom. So yeah, I’m ready for baseball to be back. Would I be more excited had the front office made any effort to improve the roster? Obviously. But in spring, hope is eternal and you never know what will come to be.
