While I can understand horrible individual seasons (62 Mets, surely the 1899 Spiders, can't find the Hackensack Bernices), for overall long-term not-goodness, it is hard to consider any team the equal of the Chicago Cubs.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
