Jon Perlman

"In an ocean or in a glass, cool water is such a gas."

by markleonette on Jan 27, 2009 7:37 PM CST reply actions  

DINGDINGDING!!!

We have a winner.

Jon Perlman was the Cubs’ #1 draft pick in 1979, another in a series of failed #1 picks by the Wrigley ownership.

He spent six years in the minors and pitched in six games in 1985, all badly.

No it is I

who appreciate this. Like yourself I have lived through the ’69 season. I have lived though ’03 and ’07 & ’08 seaons. My pain for being a Cubs fan will be with be until my last breath.

After this last season, I tuned out the Cubs for a few months. Because once again it just hurt so bad. But you and many others continue to discuss and talk about our Cubs when I could not,

I applaud you and many others on this site who steadfestly continue on a daily basis to report and continue to talk about our Cubbies (okay I said it)

And remember go Cubbies!
