I've made it no secret that the 1969 Cubs team is my favorite of all-time. It's the team that made me a Cubs fan and the team that broke my heart.
Fifty years later the team is still talked about, which is pretty surprising for a team that won nothing. In fact, they're a team that blew it.
Maybe that's why we still talk about them. Losing has a different mystique. We can discuss several "what ifs". It they won, we'd have just one thing to talk about.
Yesterday the Cubs debuted an entire website devoted to the 1969 Cubs - 1969chicagocubs.com
Very cool. When I get some downtime I'll be sure to take a look!
