The Web Just One Bad Century
Just One Bad Century Mission Statement
 

Welcome to "Just One Bad Century dot com," a site for die-hard Chicago Cubs fans.

As you all know, in October, it will be 100 years since their last World Series championship.

Our mission here is to rally you, Chicago Cubs fans from all over the world, to make sure it remains Just One Bad Century.

We`re doing this in a couple of ways.

You know the old adage, `those who don`t know history are doomed to repeat it?`"

The sad truth about many Chicago Cubs fans is that we don`t know it as well as we should. We follow them closely, we remember the personal torment, but we aren`t really sure why we`ve gone a hundred years without a World Series championship.

The Just One Bad Century staff has spent the last year researching Chicago Cubs history, and we`ll share with you what we`ve discovered, so that we can all collectively avoid the doom.

The other thing we`re trying to do is to eliminate bad karma. The Red Sox knew their bad karma was caused by trading Babe Ruth, and the White Sox knew theirs was caused by cheating in the World Series. But what about the Cubs? Where does our bad karma come from?

Is it really a goat? We don`t think so. We`ll tell you what bad karma we`ve discovered in our research, but we`ll also try to offset that by atoning for previous sins, and doing whatever we can to create good karma. And we`ll need your help for that.

Come back and visit often. We`ll have new features, stories, audio or video every single weekday.

We`ll try to make this journey as fun as possible. After all, we love the Chicago Cubs. And we want to keep it Justonebadcentury.

Great Cubs books...

"Cubbie Blues"
"Cubs Journal"
"For Love of Ivy"
"Good Money After Bad"
"Lost in the Ivy"
"Wrigley Field, the Unauthorized Biography"
"Wrigleyville"

Sportswriter and hopeless baseball junkie Mike Cameron has written "Public Bonehead, Private Hero: The Real Legacy of Baseball's Fred Merkle."

The book has just been released and is available for order only from: www.sportingchancepress.com

This is the inspirational story of Fred Merkle, 19-year-old rookie with the New York Giants in 1908, who became the No. 1 scapegoat in the history of sports but stood up to unimaginable abuse his entire life with strength and dignity.
