1969 haunts Cubs
DOVER KLAM
By LAURA KRAUL
and JENNY SOLOMON
The Chicago Cubs are a team
naunted by the memory of
what could have been. They
can’t forget 1969, a year in
which they were supposed to
win it all a year that ended
by the New York Mets stealing
an eight game lead in the last
month of the season.
“If we could have won it
that year, it would be different
now,” team captain Ron Santo
stated in a recent interview in
Atlanta. “We wouldn’t be pres
sured now the way we are. We
wouldn’t be having to prove we
can do it.“
The club, which according
to Santo has “by far the best
personnel" he’s played with, is
currently in third place in the
NL East. The Cubs had just
finished a series with Pittsburg
where they won one and lost
three to the division leading
Bucs, in games that could have
been won by the Cubs. All
three losses occurred in the late
innings on homeruns by Cle
mente or a blast by Stargell.
SANTO pointed out that
while the Pirates receive their
motivation from last year's
World Series championship, the
Cubs must find theirs in just
winning day after day.
Santo, who is in his thir
teenth season at third base for
the Cubs, is one of a closely
knit group of veteran players
who have been together
through the past several sea
sons.
Ferguson Jenkins, in his 7th
year with the Cubs and winner
of the NL Cy Young Award
last season, agreed with Santo
that the controversial manager,
Leo Durocher was still a good
manager for the team.
“He’s the best,” Santo de
clared, while Jenkins said that
he thought about 60 per cent
of the team respected Duroch
er.
“HE HAS a winning rec
ord,” Jenkins pointed out.
“And it’s important that play
ers respect the manager, lie’s
the one who holds the team
together."
As team captain, Santo sees
his task as trying to keep
thyteam morale high. “Some
times if one of the players has
a small problem, he’ll come
talk to me about it. It’s
important that he can have
someone to talk to. Being team
captain involves more than just
carrying out the line-up cards "
The assistant player's repre
sentative on the Cubs, Jenkins
admitted that he felt a little
pressure this past spring over
the players strike.
JENKINS, who started play
ing baseball as an outfielder,
but switched to pitcher before
being drafted by the Philadel
phia Phillies, said that he felt
the reserve clause should be
modified so that players could
play out their options in much

the same fashion as in football.
Santo agreed that the clause
needed modification, but felt
that if abolished or patterned
on football that owners with a
lot of money could obtain all
the good players.
Santo, who broke into the
majors at 19, found his most
memorable moment in baseball
that first day when he had five
hits and five r.b.i.’s in a
doubleheader with Pittsburg.
“That gave me my confi
dence," he said.
OVER THE past five sea
sons, Jenkins has won more
ballgames than any other pitch
er in baseball, winning 20 or
more each year. It takes
concentration, hard work and
support from teammates in the
form of runs and defense to
make a winning pitcher, he
said.
“I have no personal formula
for winning," Jenkins said. “I
just take pride in my work, try
not to make mistakes, and
know that I wouldn’t be out
there unless I was the best."
Although he led the league
in complete games last season
with 30, and has collected 14
thus far this year, Jenkins
doesn’t feel that they are
important.
“IT SHOWS that you are
strong and can combat day to
day troubles, but it doesn’t
really make a difference to me
if I finish a game.’’
Jenkins emphasized that it
doesn’t take a super athlete to

be a professional. “What you
need is a little ability, a lot of
desire, hard work, and a big
heart.” He said drug usage will
give an athlete a false sense of
security and give the impres
sion that he is a super athlete,
when he isn’t. “You have to
use your natural ability to
make it.”
Perhaps the answer to the
Cubs* pennant quest lies in
their newly acquired players
players like Burt llooton. Rick
Monday, and Jose Cardinal
who did not experience the ’69
season, and who won’t feel the
pressure steeming from it.
Perhaps it will be up to them
to lead this team of stars from
almost -winners to world
champs.
