Amen. Amen, @duffy_zach @akarapunzl @captaincowhat @gannonajmpg x.com/Cubs/status/79…

For the past two weeks, you’ve been reading about a bad break. Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the Earth. I have been in ballparks for 17 years and have never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans. When you look around, wouldn’t you consider it a privilege to associate yourself with such a fine looking men as are standing in uniform in this ballpark today? Sure, I’m lucky. Who wouldn’t consider it an honor to have known Jacob Ruppert? Also, the builder of baseball’s greatest empire, Ed Barrow? To have spent six years with that wonderful little fellow, Miller Huggins? Then to have spent the next nine years with that outstanding leader, that smart student of psychology, the best manager in baseball today, Joe McCarthy? Sure, I’m lucky. When the New York Giants, a team you would give your right arm to beat, and vice versa, sends you a gift – that’s something. When everybody down to the groundskeepers and those boys in white coats remember you with trophies – that’s something. When you have a wonderful mother-in-law who takes sides with you in squabbles with her own daughter – that’s something. When you have a father and a mother who work all their lives so you can have an education and build your body – it’s a blessing. When you have a wife who has been a tower of strength and shown more courage than you dreamed existed – that’s the finest I know. So I close in saying that I might have been given a bad break, but I’ve got an awful lot to live for. Thank you.

America’s running back.

Ron Hunt set a major league record in 1971 that still stands today. I know many of you know what record is. Comment below if you know what the record is and what the number associated with the record is

Hearing the joy, appreciation, and love from Rizzo about the #Cubs, Wrigley, and the fans is what it’s all about. The feeling is mutual.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg. The beloved Cubs second baseman was a five-tool model of consistency in the 1980s and early ’90s, making 10 consecutive All-Star teams and winning 9 straight Gold Glove awards. On June 23, 1984, a national TV audience watched Sandberg hit a pair of game-tying home runs in the 9th and 10th innings off Cardinals closer and future Hall of Famer Bruce Sutter. Part of a magical Cubs Postseason run, the game is forever remembered in Chicago as “The Sandberg Game.” He went on to win the 1984 NL MVP Award. Over 16 seasons, Sandberg slugged 282 home runs, 277 of which were as a second baseman, then a Major League record. He hit 25+ homers five times and stole 30+ bases five times. Sandberg made his Major League debut with the Phillies in 1981 and later managed them for parts of three seasons. On June 23, 2024, the 40th anniversary of his iconic moment, the Cubs unveiled a statue of Sandberg outside Wrigley Field. Sandberg bravely battled cancer the last two years. He was 65.

Magical moment

My movie. No seriously it was made for me personally.

Super Sky Point to James Earl Jones, whose baritone of gravitas elevated every film he was in. He’ll be remembered most widely for giving voice to Darth Vader but, for me, he’ll eternally be telling a troubled Iowa farmer why the people will come. #RIP

Amen @MLB Anen

@TomDorans Hopefully that question is moot after this last inning

@tdyaks16 has any team ever lost a game after stealing 7 or more bases?

@dqsoftserve Nah. Wisdom can play more positions

I’d rather have Cooper than Wisdom

This was really, really good.

What did Walter Payton do when he had the flu and a 101-degree temperature? He ran for 275 yards because he was Walter Payton is what he did.

@DailyRandomCub Thad Bodley

There will be roughly 145 days between the end of the World Series and Opening Day. That means 145 random Cubs. Let me know which ones you want to see and I’ll do my best to get them all covered.

@nflmemes A+++++++

@billyd323 Yes. Prospects not high on Cubs radar and we need some pop. He can play some 1B which is a black hole

@tdyaks16 Good deal????

I, along with my neighbor and my dad, was there that night. So was a young Dawn Quinnert I hear. Ain't that right @dqsoftserve @JTQuinnert
