I didn’t know they let Aussie’s on this board.

Yeah! They cheated! They had a Tom Seaver and the Cubs didn’t!

Oh for the days of Billy Williams, Rick Monday, Manny Trio, Randy Hundly, Milt Pappas, Fergeson Jenkins, Ron Santo, Joe Peppatone, Burt Hooton.  I haven't been a baseball fan since back then.  I loved the Cubs as a kid and grew up in Chicago.  Billy Williams was my hero.  Remember Joe Peppatone and his big hair?  I'd go out and throw a tennis ball against the garage pretending to be a pitcher and then when it came back at me I'd pretend to be Billy Williams fielding the ball.  If it was a grounder back to me I was Ron Santo.

Nowdays, you couldn't pay me to go to a game though.        

Ah, yes…who can forget the Pappas +2 for Frank Robinson?   (Robinson was 'washed up" at 30 years of age, according to Reds management.) 

Ernie Banks---1st base, Mr. Cub!

I was a kid then and Randy Hundley lived in my neighborhood (2 blocks or so away). I still have a 1969 autographed by all Cubbies' baseball. He got 10 or so of them and gave them to us kids.

Peppitone's hair made Sanjaya's look tame!

I still curse Tom Seaver everytime I think of them stealing our pennant from us that year.
