Cubs came close in '84
And if they'd had lights for nighttime baseball, they might have made it. Instead, they had to play 3 games in San Diego because they didn't have lights. They'd have done better than the Padres in that year's world series, IMO. (laughing) but of course anyone can have opinions on any sports event.
Who knows how empty the sky is
In the place of a fallen tower.
Who knows how quiet it is in the home
Where a son has not returned.
-- Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966)
