Since former Chicago Cubs manager, Joe Maddon is gone and is not coming back, (New Cub Skipper David Ross will attest to that I’m sure) it may not matter in the weight of the world how this virus would have affected Maddon’s career had he stayed with the Cubs.
But if anyone deserves an alternate historical look, it’s gotta be the guy who brought the Cubs a championship after 108 years – we owe him at least a glimpse into that magical, ‘what if?’.
So how about it? What if Maddon, in some alternate history, had been given a one-year extension this season, to manage his 2016 World Series heritage Chicago Cub team, maybe one last time.
