Hang Wiffem Posted April 21, 2024 Share Posted April 21, 2024 Every team is going to win 3 games and lose 3 games. It's what you do with the other 156 that counts. 3 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to get prehistoric here, but Mr. Cub of his day (before Ernie Banks), Phil Cavaretta, was player/manager, told Mr. Wrigley the same and wound up canned and on the White Sox, where he was welcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
