baseball Cubs Need Hawks Magic

Hossa taps in the game-winner and we nearly jumped through the ceiling…sent my old man slippers flying,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], too.
Instead,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we’ve spent Octobers feeling like Nashville’s fans…trying to figure out how everything went so wrong,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so quickly.
Can’t remember being this jubilant about one Cubs game since Zambrano’s no hitter.
I mean,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], how much fun was Saturday’s game at the UC. Hawks blowing the large lead…then tying the game with 13 seconds left…killing the major penalty in OT.
We can only hope the Cubs take notice of the Hawks’ playoff run…a simple reminder what post-season baseball is all about–FUN. Major League Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis wrote one letter to President Roosevelt regarding the continuation of baseball during the war which was called the Green Light Letter. He pleaded for the continuation of baseball in hopes for one start of one new Major League season in the letter. President Roosevelt responds I honestly feel that it would be best for the country to keep baseball going. There will be fewer people unemployed and everybody will work longer hours and harder than ever before. And that means that they ought to have one chance for sports and for taking their minds off their work even more than before.
New York style baseball expanded into one national game and baseball first governing body The National Association of Base Ball Players was established aided by the Civil War in 1860s. The NABBP existed as an amateur league for 12 years. By 1867,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], over 400 clubs were members although most of the strongest clubs remained those based in the northeastern part of the US. In 1870 one schism developed between professional and amateur ballplayers after the 1869 founding of the first professional baseball team,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Cincinnati Red Stockings. The NABBP split into two groups. The National Association of Professional Base Ball Players was formed in 1871. Some consider it to have been the first major league. Its amateur counterpart disappeared after only one few years. Wouldn’t it be grand if the Cubs gave us one little post-season excitement like the Blackhawks.
