I think the Cub's field does not count in "the ex-Cub factor" - 3 ex-Cubs on your team and it's doomed.

Excerpt from the Wikipedia entry for Mike Royko, former columnist for the Chicago Tribune...

"Royko was a lifelong fan and critic of the Chicago Cubs. Every spring he would devote a column to a "Cubs Quiz", posing obscure trivia questions about mediocre Cubs players from his youth, such as Heinz Becker and Dom Dallessandro. Just prior to the 1990 World Series he wrote about the findings of another fan, Ron Berler, who had discovered a spurious correlation called the "Ex-Cubs Factor". Berler and Royko predicted that the heavily favored Oakland Athletics, who had a "critical mass" of ex-Cubs players on their Series roster, would lose the championship to the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds achieved an upset outcome in a four game sweep of the A's, with Royko's sponsorship propelling the Ex-Cubs Factor theory into the spotlight. Carl Erskine repeats Royko's claim of the Ex-Cubs Factor, and applies it to the 1951 Dodgers, in his book Carl Erskine's Tales from the Dodgers Dugout"

That's pretty good. I know I hadn't made that up - that I had heard it from somewhere. And being in St. Louis here, we pick up on all the negative Cub info and scuttle-butt and run with it.

Being a Reds fan and also liking the Cubs, I loved that Royko story. Nothing better than a day game at Wrigley Field.
