Reason #757 Cubs Are Losers


Just yesterday I wrote about how it took the Chicago Cubs 132 years to erect a statue of one of its players. One might think extra care would have gone into every last detail of the event, including the statue. I mean there were a lot of important people there including our governor and senator. We can't forget all the press and fans that were there taking photos to cherish this historic moment.

All those photos will have captured a metaphor of Cub's history. A mistake etched in stone.

Ernie Banks famous quote, "Let's play two."

Simple quote. Unfortunately, they forgot the apostrophe.

"Lets play two."

I'm the first to admit I make mistakes. I dont alway's use the apostrophe correctly. And I don't fault the sculptor. I just think it's a great metaphor on Cubs history.

They always get it wrong.

It took them 132 years to erect a statue of one of there players, Ernie Banks. Talk about erectile dysfunction.

Harry Caray had a statue in 1999.

Banks hit 512 home runs for the Cubs over 19 seasons of a Hall of Fame career.

Caray was a announcer for 16 seasons with the Cubs. He never won a game for the team.
