Before the 2016 World Series, Chicago Cubs fans shared one certain bright spot that could burst through any darkness. For far atop the Wrigley Field roof waved Kerry Wood’s white 20-K flag. With just one glimpse of it, a distracting flood of dopamine would flood our fan receptors, and all would feel fine.
So how fun to see the Cubs recently inject an accidental double dose of nostalgia. While getting swept in St. Louis, the Kerry Wood Facebook documentary “20” debuted and helped blunt any burgeoning fan revolts.
Some two million views later, I wonder if Cubs Productions is planning on more such diverting online projects?
