Half-lives of Cubs championship teams By JohnW53 on Jan 31, 2021, 7:04am CST 4
45 players: 20 position players and 25 pitchers.
If the 2021 season began today, only
6 of those 45 still would be a Cub: Javier Baez, Kris Bryant, Willson Contreras, Jason Heyward, Anthony Rizzo and Kyle Hendricks, the lone remaining pitcher.
Remarkably, 2016 was the final season with the Cubs for
21 of those 45 players: 7 position players and 14 pitchers.
The position players who did not return in 2017 included 2 who had appeared in at least half of the team s games in 2016: outfielders Dexter Fowler (125) and Jorge Soler (86).
Among the departed pitchers were starter and 15-game winner Jason Hammel (30 games) and frequent relievers Travis Wood (77) and Trevor Cahill (50).

I’m likely to say this a lot, but we have another of my favorites.
Reed Johnson was born December 8, 1976, in Riverside, CA. The
Blue Jays drafted him in the 17th round of the 1999 amateur draft out of Cal State Fullerton, where he was named an Academic All-American and played baseball and soccer.

Comic book creators and Hemingway share a natural kinship. The comic book page demands an economy of words, and for multi-panel stories a lot of the action takes place between the panels. It’s an interactive reading experience, much like Hemingway’s work. It demands that you interpret and bring yourself to the text, like Hemingway’s less-is-more “iceberg theory,” in graphic form.

Hemingway contends that in the hands of a talented writer, a reader “will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them.
