CHICAGO -- Tom Ricketts couldn't help himself.
In his comments welcoming fans to the Cubs Convention, Ricketts made it clear just how things have changed for his franchise.
"We're looking forward to 2017," Ricketts said. "I think that anyone who knows Cubs history knows that when the Cubs win a World Series, they always win again the next year."
Well, they did in 1908 after winning in '07, anyway.
It's hard to imagine that Frank Chance's team could have felt much better about its chance to defend its championship than the current Cubs do. Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant & Co.
