Closing Down Wrigley Field
The Cubs went (35-46) at home this season.
Its lowest mark since 1999 (34-47).
Chicago’s home batting average is .265.
That’s 14-points higher than on the road.
The pitching staff’s ERA, however, is 38-points
higher (4.48) than its road ERA of 4.10.
Despite all the many disappointments, the club
still managed to draw more than 3 million in attendance.
What does that say about Cubs faithful?
Does loyalty to the end mean we’re lesser fans?
Is it true Cubs fans are all about the beer?
Should we be embarrassed to support a crummy team so well?
