Even George Brett isn't the superstar he once was. The old Royals may have a last burst of greatness left, but if Kansas City is to do anything this weekend, it will likely be their younger (and perhaps less talent- ed) players, that will come through. The National League contend- ers are teams that have not won anything in recent years. The Eastern Division Chicago Cubs haven't won a pennant since 1945 and the Western Champions San Dieg,- Padres have never won one. The Cubs are something of a surprise team. They finished fifth in last year's race, although it was apparent even then that they had the potential to do a lot better. The Cubs are an almost com- pletely different team from a few years ago, due largely to the trad- ing activity of General Manager Dallas Green. Green's trades, which often upset fans at the time they were made, have built Chicago into a solid, fairly well- balanced team. The Cubs have been propelled to the top by several streaks from key players, especially that of pitcher Rick Sut- cliffe, who went an incredible 16- 1 after joining the team in Maay.
