Billy & Champ
He is 71 years old today. One of the all-time great Cubs players, and one of my all-time favorites. I can't tell you how many times I tried to do the spit and swing in my backyard. For me, that probably started in 1969.
Champ Summers is also 63 years old today. They called him Champ, although he never was one. Happy birthday, Champ.
