The Friday Flashback: The 1969 Cubs

According to the media the Cubs are in uncharted waters. They have the best record in the majors and talk about breaking a century of futility with a championship is heating up, if a bit premature.

Which is why we always need to remind folks of 1969, that this is June, and the June swoon can still happen (albeit unlikely). We found this Leo Durocher story, told by Vince Lloyd, on You Tube about "the Lips" problems with Don Kessinger.

There's some swearing here, so keep the volume down if you're at work.
