Before I get started, I have to wish godspeed to Eddie Van Halen (January 26, 1955 – October 6, 2020), the heir to Jimi Hendrix. His guitar riffs will always be a warm reminder of the 1984 Cubs, making that fantastic season all the more special. We all remember the Cubs running out to field their positions with Jump being played (yes, that was Eddie on that opening synthesizer, too), and though his solo on the bridge of that song is so on point, it was a far cry from the mastery he displayed in so many wonderfully loud and legendary performances.
