So now what? Anthony Rizzo's Instagram account shows the spoils of winning the franchise's first World Series title since 1908. There's a collage from his "Saturday Night Live" appearance with Bill Murray, Dexter Fowler and David Ross. There are pictures from Kris Bryant's splashy wedding in Las Vegas. There are beach, sunset and yacht postcards from Thailand, Vietnam (where Rizzo went squid fishing) and the British Virgin Islands (where the All-Star first baseman bumped into Mayor Rahm Emanuel). On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Rizzo hopes to give the nation's 44th president his No. 44 jersey when the Cubs visit Barack Obama's White House. But Rizzo has a simple answer for anyone wondering if the Cubs are sleeping off the hangover – or maybe not feeling quite as hungry – after enjoying their global victory tour. "You want more," Rizzo said Thursday during a Cubs Caravan stop at Northwest Middle School, where he raised the World Series trophy in a gym filled with roaring students. "Success is very addicting." Generations of fans will thank the 2016 team when Cubs Convention opens at the Sheraton Grand Chicago on Friday – or 32 days until pitchers and catchers report to Arizona – for an event that would still be jam-packed coming off a last-place finish. That's when Rizzo predicted the 2015 Cubs would win a division title, backing it up, in essence, with 97 wins and a trip to the National League Championship Series. But there's no need to drum up confidence and make guarantees anymore. The Cubs are now Major League Baseball's glamour team, a telegenic group with crossover appeal and social- media savvy. Built and shaped by baseball rock stars in the front office (Theo Epstein) and dugout (Joe Maddon), the Cubs play with style, attitude and emotion. There's enough young blue-chip talent to make October baseball a reality at Wrigley Field for years to come. "You just want to keep going," Rizzo said. "All the perks that have come this year have been amazing. You see guys after they win championships go on a couple talk shows. We had probably 20 guys on different talk shows, doing everything, branching out. It's amazing for the game. It's good for baseball. "When I work out now, it's: ‘Oh, how are you going to get that going?' Well, it's easy. I want to do it again. I think everyone else will have that mentality as well." Rizzo is coming off a 32-homer, 109-RBI season where he won Gold Glove and Silver Slugger awards and found the right balance between Maddon's ideals of staying loose and playing hard. Rizzo took a broader view of his game and attacked the weaker parts without getting overloaded or overwhelmed by the history. He helped create the chill vibes in the clubhouse as these Cubs have clearly taken on elements of his personality. "With the experience we've gained from getting swept by the Mets, to winning a Game 7 in the best World Series ever," Rizzo said, "I think anything that's thrown at us, we'll be able to handle. "Especially with going into spring (training) last year with all the extra media and all the scrutiny, the way we were able to handle ourselves in the clubhouse and not worry about anything else was the biggest key." Injuries, underperformance and a different chemistry could all derail the 2017 Cubs. But these core players get the benefit of the doubt after the way they burst onto the scene and shrugged off the century-plus championship drought. Bryant won Rookie of the Year and MVP awards before turning 25 and getting married. Addison Russell and Javier Baez are going into their age-23 and age-24 seasons. Kyle Schwarber, Willson Contreras and Albert Almora Jr. still haven't completed a full year in the big leagues yet. The Cubs feel like the party in Wrigleyville is just beginning. "We just got to keep going, keep sticking to the process, keep having fun," Rizzo said. "And know that – just like last year – we were the team to beat, and we're going to be the team to beat this year. So we got to go in there with the mentality of getting it on from the first day of spring until the last game." -- Chicago Tribune Cubs' Anthony Rizzo hopes Dexter Fowler is a hit with rival Cardinals By Mark Gonzales Anthony Rizzo had a few words for Dexter Fowler at Kris Bryant’s wedding last weekend. “I said it’s 2017, so I can’t talk to you anymore,” Rizzo said jokingly to his former teammate, who signed last month with the rival St. Louis Cardinals. “But it’s just a friendly rivalry. I want to see him do well. He’s a good friend. He’s a world champion of the Chicago Cubs for the rest of his life, no matter where he’s playing, no matter what jersey he’s wearing.” Rizzo was delighted that Fowler, who returned last February to the Cubs on a one-year contract after not finding a multi-year deal to his liking, landed a five-year, $82.5 million contract with the Cardinals. “I think it’s amazing for Dexter,” Rizzo said. “With him going through the free agent process, and it didn’t work out in his favor this year. He goes through it again, and he gets what he deserves. Unfortunately for us, he’s not with us because he’s such a great friend, a great teammate, a great player. But I told him I hope he gets five hits against us every time and we beat him every time. It’s the best outcome.” Fowler told ESPN Chicago that he will attend the Cubs’ visit to the White House on Monday. -- Chicago Tribune Did finding a lucky horseshoe help end days of Cubs coming close? By David Haugh A horseshoe that symbolizes the Cubs' good fortune of late, headed soon for a Wrigley Field display case, once covered the hoof of a mare named Queen Bess. This was around 1916, back when the Cubs played at Weeghman Park and owner Charles Weeghman kept his horse in a stable beneath the third-base bleachers. Queen Bess's grazing skills came in handy in keeping the grounds sharp when she wasn't carrying Cubs equipment carts to the nearby train station. One day Bess kicked wildly and one of her shoes flew off, not to be found until years later by legendary groundskeeper Bobby Dorr, who was on the job from 1919 until his death in 1957. Legend has it that Dorr, sometime in the late 1920s, took the horseshoe, pounded a nail in the wall of the one- story brick building William Wrigley Jr. let him live in rent free, and hung it upside-down for reasons only he knew. Nobody considered Dorr's wall ornament unlucky until times started getting tougher for the Cubs after they won the pennant in 1945. "Then when the Cubs stopped winning, the joke became it was all Dorr's fault,'' Cubs historian Ed Hartig recalled. "I don't know if he ever bought into it, but members of his grounds crew never let him forget he hung the horseshoe upside-down.'' After blaming the upside-down horseshoe for getting in the way of the Cubs winning, the billy goat shared the onus for years. Then a black cat appeared in 1969. And Steve Bartman interfered in 2003. The Cubs traditionally led the league in symbols of doom and tales of woe.

  • Reign Men Taps Into a Compelling Oral History of Game 7 in the 2016 World Series
    Reign Men taps into a compelling oral history of Game 7 in the 2016 World Series. Talking Cubs heads all top CSN Chicago producers need in riveting ‘Reign Men’ By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Thursday, March 23, 2017 Some of the most riveting TV can be a bunch of talking heads. The best example is enjoying multiple airings on CSN Chicago, the first at 9:30 p.m. Monday, March 27. When a one-hour documentary combines Theo Epstein and his Merry Men of Wrigley Field, who can talk as good a game as they play, with the video skills of world-class producers Sarah Lauch and Ryan McGuffey, you have a must-watch production. We all know “what” happened in the Game 7 Cubs victory of the 2016 World Series that turned from potentially the most catastrophic loss in franchise history into its most memorable triumph in just a few minutes in Cleveland. Now, thanks to the sublime re- porting and editing skills of Lauch and McGuffey, we now have the “how” and “why” through the oral history contained in “Reign Men: The Story Behind Game 7 of the 2016 World Series.” Anyone with sense is tired of the endless shots of the 35-and-under bar crowd whooping it up for top sports events. The word here is gratuitous. “Reign Men” largely eschews those images and other “color” shots in favor of telling the story. And what a tale to tell. Lauch and McGuffey, who have a combined 20 sports Emmy Awards in hand for their labors, could have simply done a rehash of what many term the greatest Game 7 in World Series history.

  • Castrovince | October 23Rd, 2016 CLEVELAND -- the Baseball Season Ends with Someone Else Celebrating
    C's the day before: Chicago, Cleveland ready By Anthony Castrovince / MLB.com | @castrovince | October 23rd, 2016 CLEVELAND -- The baseball season ends with someone else celebrating. That's just how it is for fans of the Indians and Cubs. And then winter begins, and, to paraphrase the great meteorologist Phil Connors from "Groundhog Day," it is cold, it is gray and it lasts the rest of your life. The city of Cleveland has had 68 of those salt-spreading, ice-chopping, snow-shoveling winters between Tribe titles, while Chicagoans with an affinity for the North Siders have all been biding their time in the wintry winds since, in all probability, well before birth. Remarkably, it's been 108 years since the Cubs were last on top of the baseball world. So if patience is a virtue, the Cubs and Tribe are as virtuous as they come. And the 2016 World Series that arrives with Monday's Media Day - - the pinch-us, we're-really-here appetizer to Tuesday's intensely anticipated Game 1 at Progressive Field -- is one pitting fan bases of shared circumstances and sentiments against each other. These are two cities, separated by just 350 miles, on the Great Lakes with no great shakes in the realm of baseball background, and that has instilled in their people a common and eventually unmet refrain of "Why not us?" But for one of them, the tide will soon turn and so, too, will the response: "Really? Us?" Yes, you. Imagine what that would feel like for Norman Rosen. He's 90 years old and wise to the patience required of Cubs fandom.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE For more information, contact: Alison Heitman (847) 994-3214 CHICAGO CUBS CLINCH POSTSEASON APPEARANCE, BACKED BY SLOAN AS WATER EFFICIENCY PARTNER FRANKLIN PARK, IL – Major League Baseball's postseason is here, and the Chicago Cubs have clinched a playoff spot for the first time since 2008. The team, its fans and the City of Chicago gear up for the postseason with great excitement and anticipation. On October 7, the Cubs will face the Pittsburgh Pirates for a Wild Card game to begin their postseason journey. "Congratulations to the Cubs. We're proud to be a Legacy Partner and the Cubs' Official Water Efficiency Partner," said Sloan President, Graham Allen.

As part of this relationship, Cubs Spring Training Facility in Mesa, Arizona, was named Sloan Park. While the Legacy Partnership between the Cubs and Sloan is new this year, Sloan products have been in use at Wrigley Field since 1914 – back when it was known as Weeghman Park. Sloan continues to help the Cubs organization expand its ongoing sustainability efforts and improve the fan experience at Sloan Park and Wrigley Field in Chicago. The company's expertise will be particularly helpful in the ongoing water-sustainability efforts in the Arizona area.

First baseman Joey Votto, left fielder Adam Duvall, center fielder Billy Hamilton and catcher Tucker Barnhart were named Rawlings NL Gold Glove Award finalists. Each player is one of three nominees at his respective position for the prestigious award that recognizes the best defensive player at each position for each league.
