WELCOME TO CUBS WORLD CHATTER for October, 2022!
BY Wayne Richards
Welcome to October. For Cub fans, Autumn is a bit disconcerting to say the least...especially when we're not even in the running!
There’s no doubt about it. This has been a difficult season for the Chicago Cubs. There has been drama almost every WICK.
But difficulties ASSAD, the common WISDOM is that the bright REYES of success will once again cast beautiful HUGHES at Wrigley.
Keep in mind this is a YOUNG team and have yet to acquire WISDOM. Ross is the manager of course but will Mark become the new LEITER?
Let’s watch carefully what happens during this very important off season. With hard work and intelligent planning, we will once again see SMYLY faces at the friendly confines !

RED WORD SEARCH
By now, most Cubs World members are very familiar with the process of searching for a Red word sitting somewhere within this newsletter. If you're new to the process (and welcome) heres all you do. Search for a word printed in red and write it down on a piece of paper or a card. Bring it to the October membership meeting and place it in a jar for a drawing. You just might win a valuable gift card! GOOD LUCK!

GOLF SCRAMBLE TIME
by Dan Marx
Cubs world members held their final scramble of the year at the Bogart and Bacall golf courses on 9/22. Each course had 4 groups participating.
I personally saw John Curtis put his tee shot 10” from the hole on number 1, and said to myself “ what a shame that isn’t the hole for closest to the pin”. Well, not to worry. John did it again on number 6 to win the closest to the pin on Bogart. Frank Salerno won the closest to the pin on number 2 at Bacall, and in an emotional thank you, he gave credit to his mom and dad.
At Bogart , there was a three way tie for 1st with a score of one under par. Using tiebreakers, it was determined that the team of ( you guessed it) JOHN CURTIS, Marge Curtis , and Jim Hill won 1st place money. The 2nd place team of Dan & Dale Marx and Burt & Myra Fischel took home second place.
At Bacall, there was also a three way tie for 1st. Using the same tiebreakers it was determined that the first place winners were Wayne Babor, Barry Ehrlich, Jeff Finesilver, and Sam Pagoria. The second place team was Ron House, Gene Babiarz, and Frank Salerno.
Thanks to all of you for participating in a fun day , and we hope to see you all next year.

WALK UP MUSIC...OLD AND NEW
by Wayne Richards
Remember George Bell? He played for the Cubbies in 1991 as a left fielder. I was at the friendly confines that year enjoying a game when I noticed as Bell approached home base to bat, there were a few loud and distinct bells that rang loudly in the air thanks to the fine organist Gary Pressy. It was then that I first noticed a trend to feature selected songs for many players during their "walk ups".
