“It’s impossible to not be excited doing Chicago Cubs baseball, especially at Wrigley Field.” – Harry Caray
In the summer of 1984, Ryne Sandberg and Rick Sutcliffe were the King and the Duke of Major League Baseball. Caray was the artist who painted a daily portrait of the miracle season, when a perennial second-division baseball team finally beat the odds and played in the National League Championship Series.
Many forget that the Cubs were 3-18 in Cactus League play that spring and hardly looked like world beaters. Heck, they hardly resembled a professional baseball team.
