Wow. I know that Ron Santo was an iconic member of the Cubs family. And he is certainly missed. The Cubs are wearing a patch in his honor on their jersey and a statue of Ron will be placed outside Wrigley later this summer.
But, the players have come up with another way to remember #10...with their record.
At the start of today, the Cubs have played 20 games. Their record?
10 WINS and
10 LOSSES
How bizarre is that?? Actually, the Cubs have been at .500 all year long. So far they have had records of
1-1
2-2
3-3
4-4
5-5
6-6
7-7
8-8
9-9
10-10
They are the first team in MLB history to ever do that at the start of the season.
Now, if the team would like to honor the memory of another player, how about Todd Hundley? He spent most of his time in Chicago playing as if he was dead.
Why honor Todd? Because he was...
....#99. Of course, I would prefer 99 wins, not losses. That should be more than enough to get the Cubs into the post-season.
When I heard that yesterday, I thought it was the strangest thing in the world. Only the Cubbies.
