7. What Did You Expect?

It's the Iowa Cubs.
If the Ricketts had just not acted like paupers and traded away their best players (aside from Contrares) these guys would mostly be in Des Moines.
On WGN I saw an interview with a fan from Iowa that came to Wrigley. The guy said, "If I wanted to see the Iowa Cubs, I would have stayed in Des Moines."
I hope Hoyer knows what he's doing, now that Theo is gone.
BTW: I actually saw a couple Cubs/Cards games at the old stadium when I was a kid. I'm guessing around 1964.
Saw a few at the big bowl, too. Saw Gibson/Jenkins a couple times. Those were FAST games!
