We’ll be playing the Attendance Game, Ronnie

For a franchise dedicated to getting Ron Santo into the Hall of Fame, the Chicago National League Ball Club sure gave his number out a lot after he was dealt to the White Sox after the 1973 season: Billy Grabarkewitz (1974), Mike Sember (1977), Dave Kingman (1978-80), Leon Durham (1981-88), Lloyd McClendon (1989-90), Luis Salazar (1991-92), Steve Lake (1993), Scott Bullett (1995-96), Terrell Lowery (1997-98) and interim manager Bruce Kimm (2002).

If baseball moves the Cubs-Astros series to Miller Park, you have to believe the Brewers faithful will be screaming their lungs out for the Cub, too. Houston’s only two games behind Yost’s Headbangers.

And, as a special bonus, let’s let some PBS stalwarts remind readers and viewers of the Cubs’ magic number.
