Truthfully, once Wrigley decided to set up a farm system, it paid dividends quickly. In a period of a couple years in the early '60's, it spit out Billy Williams (HOFer), Lou Brock (HOFer), Ken Hubbs (Rookie-of-the-Year), and Ron Santo (near HOFer). Tough to argue with whoever was running the farm in that era.
There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
