WELCOME to the February edition of the CUBS WORLD CHATTER. Some exciting things are happening this month. Please grab coffee or a cocktail (or both) relax and enjoy!
As we all know, this is the month when pitchers report to Spring training and additional players that shouldn't be there ... sneak in. (Come on....everybody knows that!)
By the way, even though the main focus in this newsletter will always shine on our Cubbies, I have taken a little time for a personal tribute to BOB EUCKER, the voice of the Brewers. When you read it, you'll understand why.
My editor, partner and friend, Dan Marx wants to remind everybody that things can become quite interesting if you send in comments and suggestions. Keep in mind, we always look forward to hearing from you. GO CUBBIES!

RED WORD TIME!!!
by Wayne Richards
Ok! We admit it! We've been quite sneaky with some of these red words. So this month we'll give you a break. The word should be easier to find this time around.
Once you find it, write it on a piece of paper along with your name and drop in a special jar at our next membership meeting at Eisenhower.
You just might win a PUBLIX gift card!!! Exciting eh?

SOMETHING ABOUT BOB
by Wayne Richards
During Jim Guleserian's membership meeting segment called "LETS PLAY TOO",I was delighted to see a tribute to Bob Eucker lovingly presented. Mr. Baseball truly deserves accolades.
I also would like to offer a tribute and explain why this man's loss affects me deeply. Let me explain why.
First of all, Some years ago, I watched a fascinating interview with Bob where he spoke at length about his youth and how he developed a love for baseball. Chicago played a big part in sparking that interest. Eucker reflected fondly of how he would break away from his routine and take the Milwaukee Road railroad from BEER TOWN to Wrigley. It was one of his favorite things to do.
Of course, when his broadcasting career was solidified in Milwaukee, he would take digs at Wrigley, just as he would at any other ballpark. That was his job....to be faithful to the Brewers.
But he always directed true criticism in comic form to himself. That to me is the mark of a very special individual! In other words, he masterfully connected two of my passions...baseball and humor. What an amazing showman!
Jim presented some video examples of just how quick Eucker's mind was when he appeared on the TONIGHT SHOW. Due to technical issues, one video could not be played. It was his induction speech into the Hall Of Fame. Needless to say it is a masterpiece and we invite you to check it out. CLICK HERE

BOBBLING ON WITH FRESH CONCEPTS
by Wayne Richards
It's truly amazing to think how many baseball bobble heads have been distributed through the years. The styles and themes of these creations run the gamut from simple, to elaborate...and often times, the ridiculous. Have some fun checking out these masterpieces. (ATTENTION... OFFICIAL CUBS WORLD BOBBLE HEAD COLLECTOR). Some of these you might have.
