Mama grizzlies mate later than other bears. They have two cubs instead of four. They wait four years - about twice as long as other bears - between having cubs. And after they're pregnant, if winter is hard or their health is not good or the food supply is uncertain, they re-absorb the embryo into their body.

Gloria Steinem

Every player should be accorded the privilege of at least one season with the Chicago Cubs. That's baseball as it should be played - in God's own sunshine. And that's really living.

Alvin Dark

My mum loves cats so I took her to see the lion cubs which at about a year old are actually quite big. She wasn't scared at all and went straight over and kissed one on the mouth! She thought they were just like her pets at home.

Amanda Holden

When it came to religion, I felt I belonged to no one. It saddened me, it angered me, it confused me, and it made me religiously ambivalent. So I chose my calling: Cubs baseball.

Andy Dunn

Go to a Cubs game and see how many people are in the stands, because when you can't win, nobody cares anymore.

Ann Coulter

Once a Cubs fan, always a Cubs fan.

Bailey Chase

I used to go badger-watching as a boy, and it's brilliant fun - they're incredibly active animals, and the cubs are very funny to watch.

Ben Miller

I have family and friends who are strong Cardinal fans, and they are having a tough time since I signed. They want to root for me, but rooting for the Cubs is next to a sin.

Ben Zobrist

One of my best friends, James Miller, managed to find the only Cubs hat that is all red.

My pat line about the Cubs and payroll is that the amount of merchandise the Cubs would sell off a world series championship would more than cover for a big payroll.

Billy Corgan

If I worried about appearances, I wouldn't be at Cubs games.

Billy Corgan

When is it too late to say it's still early for the Cubs? Try now. Their magic number is 1998, at least until it becomes 1999, but in lieu of a present, they offer you a future.

Bob Verdi

I'm a Cubs season ticket holder.

Brian Azzarello

I'm certainly thankful for what the Cubs did for me. I respect their organization. It's the same way with the Atlanta Braves, an awfully fine organization. I respect everybody who's down there, and that's still where I live today. But the Cardinals represent the best years of my career.

Bruce Sutter

The Cubs gave me a chance to play. They signed me as a free agent and brought me to the Major Leagues. The first day I walked into Wrigley Field was one of the best days of my life. And I owe them an awful lot.

Bruce Sutter

Yes, I was inspired by Jack London and still love reading his books. Ernie Banks is another hero because I lived in Chicago for two years as a kid, and I loved that he was the Cubs' loyal underdog and one of the first African-Americans to make that breakthrough.

Conrad Anker

I'm a kid from the small Illinois town of Batavia, who grew up on the Chicago Cubs and made sports his life's work, although there's never been a day where it actually seemed like work.

Craig Sager

I am a Cuban mother, and you do not let your cubs get into trouble without you trying to help them all the way.

Cristina Saralegui

Rooting for the Cubs is not easy, but the best things in life never are.

Dennis Farina

I really want to see the Cubs in the World Series. I really do.

Dennis Quaid

All ballplayers want to wind up their careers with the Cubs, Giants or Yankees. They just can't help it.
