The Cubs aren't going away, and that's good news for baseball

CLEVELAND -- Every year along Lake Michigan, they shut down the famous Buckingham Fountain in Grant Park. The water is shut off, leaving behind an empty cement hole with some lonely looking seahorse sculptures sticking up, and the ornate terraces of the fountain itself that look so dazzling under the summer sun. People still shuffle along the pebble-coated plaza surrounding the fountain during the winter, taking selfies and otherwise admiring the thing they can really see better in their mind's eye. Then in the spring, somebody turns the water back on and the show begins all over again.

And so it is for Wrigley Field.
