Although last year’s Chicago Cubs camp was loaded with whacky hijinx, churned out daily for the players (and, by extension, for us), this year’s showing has been subdued by contrast.

Talk about keeping the guys loose, eh?
All in a day’s work for the defending world champs. And when they repeat later this year, they can look back at the profound impact Buss’s speedo had on their success.
“Never let the pressure exceed the pleasure.”
