And the way we as society have made it a rings-or-nothing culture.

Teams are now gearing to make sure that their guys are healthy for the postseason, and they're not as concerned with the regular season.

Wrigley was incredible in those playoff games last year, and it did remind you of some of those games back in 15 and 16 and somewhat 17 where we had just the kind of energy.

And obviously, we want to have those games every year.

We obviously want to win the World Series every year, but...

But for me, too, it's just paying off all the loyal fans who have come to so many games for so many years and given so much to the team.

To be able to pay them back with an incredible experience like what we saw in the playoffs last year, that just means a lot to me personally, and I want to do that every year.

Tom, this is 17 years that you're

families own the cubs and you talked initially about what you wanted to do it appears you've done most of those things is there is there anything that you feel is incomplete that you and your family would continue to want to try to do with the cubs we just have to win more world series i mean it's about winning i mean all this other stuff it all leads to one thing and that's about winning and we just we just have to put the kind of teams on the field that can that can be in the playoffs every year and get back on top

Thanks, Ben.

Go Cubs.

Crane has kind of documented some new issues with, like Megan was saying, RSN.

Marquis even has had some cutbacks.

If you can go back, knowing what you know now, would you have done things differently with Marquis or anything like that?

You know, actually, you know,

Given all the financial, you know, all the market headwinds for RSNs, I think Marquee is one of the best things we ever did.

To be in control of our own destiny and to be able to produce the games we want to produce the way we want to produce them with the right people and the right staff and the right level of production quality.

I think it's...

For us, it's been a huge home run because it's been able to give us a chance to control our own destiny for a while and has been maybe the smartest thing we've done in all these years.
