Tradition is Just Stuff You’re Used To

I was used to Wrigley Field not having video replay boards.

I was used to a game schedule with many more day games than night games.

I was used to the fact that the National League doesn’t have a designated hitter.

I was used to the Chicago Cubs being a perpetual punchline.

Now that third thing above may or may not change, but I think we can agree that tradition isn’t necessarily what is optimal for a franchise.  No, tradition is just what we’ve gotten accustomed to.  All the losing.  The terrible amenities.  Completely Useless By September.
