So, all major league baseball fans know that it's been a tough century for the Chicago Cubs and their fans. It's been a long 108 years since the Cubs last won the World Series.
Trust me, I KNOW. And ever since, Chicagoans have been eagerly and endlessly waiting until the day would come that the Cubs would once rise again.
Well, my friends, that day has come.
Now, I know the season is early and there are many more games, but the Cubs are currently the number one team in Major League Baseball!
You're right, Rizzo, but it's also a combination of amazing, talented plays and a bomb ass manager. But, if the Chicago Cubs are on top, why do I say that Cubs fans are the best baseball fans?
1. We've stayed fans through endless amounts of team changes
In the past and recent years, the Cubs have been known to trade tons of players, sometimes even our best ones such as: Derrek Lee, Alfonso Soriano, Sean Marshall, Starlin Casto, Wellington Castilo, Tony Campana, Darwin Barney and many more. However, even though we sometimes only knew a few players on the team after a large amount of trades, we stuck with our team and learned to love our new players.
2. We've stayed fans through endless amounts of manager changes
From the start of 2000 to now, the Chicago Cubs have had 9 managers! That's a lot! From Don Baylor to Rene Lachemann to Bruce Kimm to Dusty Baker to Lou Piniella to Mike Quade to Dale Sveum to Rick Renteria to our current manager, Joe Maddon, we've had a lot of people in charge. And even though it was hard to adjust with the changes each manager made to the team, some good and some bad, us Cubs fans still fully supported our players and the people that were in charge of them.
3. We've stayed fans
The Cubs hold the record for being the team with the longest World Series Drought (the longest gap between winning and present day). The Cubs last won The World Series in 1908 and last appeared in 1945! That's a long f***ing time people!!!! But, WE'VE STAYED FANS! If we can love the Chicago Cubs at their worst, then we will absolutely love them at their best!! The ability for us to stay fans even in the lowest of times shows true dedication to our team! There's no doubt that Chicago Cubs fans are the greatest fans in the world, and hopefully this will be the year that our loyalty will pay off and we can pop that winning
and
Once a Cubs fan, always a Cubs fan!
