The 85 bears were and are a monolith in Chicago, different era in sports and the city. There will never be something quite like that, even though the cubs came close. Visited relatives in Chicago in cold late March 1986. I was wearing my brown leather bomber jacket as we made a family get-together at the Ballpark Inn where *everyone* was wearing black leather jackets/surcoats/coats. When finally seated one of my aunts asked me, "OK, so what's up with the brown leather? You were born in Chicago for cryin' out loud. This is Bear-Ditka season." I think everyone made an exception of me, in a good way. The brown sheep of the family. Edited June 7, 2022 by FoxForce2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckweaver Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 The team I'm doing the comparison to is the Tony La Russa-managed 1983 "Winnin' Ugly" team. That team was five games under .500 for April and May (20-25), then went 79-38 for 99 total wins and the AL West title. After 52 games played, that '83 team was 25-27, the same record the 2022 version has now. Perhaps Rick Hahn makes a swap for someone like Julio Cruz, who provided a needed spark that year. I hope so.
