It continues to feel weird to me that there is no easy "favourite Cub" in this team. Every time I think that Baez is my favourite, I am reminded of how awesome Schwarber is, who literally did something unheard of that will almost certainly never be duplicated. And Heyward, who burned the Cardinals fans to be here, and has spoken repeatedly about how much he loves this team. And, obviously, Rizzo and Bryant. And Arrieta remains a total badass. I mean, how does one choose?

It's Rizzo. He was the first Theo player to be here so he was the harbinger of things to come. Add in the looks on his face of amazement and wonder when good things are happening to the team and it's hard not to think of his personal health history. He's lucky to be alive. And he plays that way. Everything good is a joy to him because he was this close to none of this happening.

He knows how fortunate he is to even be here. And we are just fortunate to watch him.

I've rewatched this video a significant amount of times because it's all relevant to my interests. But my favorite-est part is at ~12:20 where Tony Ballgame puts his hands on his head and said what everyone else was thinking at home.

Chuck is ... not wrong?

It was limited-stage Hodgkin disease, so the "lucky to be alive" part is a bit over the top.

We're all lucky to be alive, Wheez.

An eminently curable one. The odds greatly favored his being alive.

Yeah, dude--they're going to lose like, at least 60 games.

Try to fucking pace yourself, eh, mate?
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.
