See the last sentence. Is Lilly guessing at this or is this a fact that has not been announced yet? As a Cubs fan who grew up in the 60's I agree with others here who say Fergie Jenkins should have had #31 retired in his name. If Maddux had put up most of his numbers with the Cubs it would be different. I love Maddux but I don't think this would be a good move by the Cubs if it is a fact.
