This is off-topic almost, but I do agree that Granderson would have been a very popular Cub. He's exactly the kind of guy that fans like, practically the antithesis of the Bradley/Jacque type.
We were making jokes on another thread about Cub fans being "racist." I don't think that's true, but I can see how the perception is out there.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I can't.

To clarify, I don't think it's necessarily true. Probably the most popular Cub is Derrek Lee, and the most popular Cub ever is Ernie Banks, (who signed with the Cubs <i>before</i> "Brown vs. the Board"). And most guys on the site grew up as huge Dawson fans.

So it seems, if you play well and act like a decent human being, Cub fans will love you, regardless of color.

But I can see why the perception is out there; if guys like Jacque Jones, Dusty, and Bradley are talking about <i>in the media</i>, there must be something out there. And for many, perception is reality.
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
