I'm flexible on these matters, but the idea that winning in 2026 is somehow uniquely better than winning in any other year, is not a concept I understand. In fact, I'd bet that we have a better shot at a WS in 2027 than we do in 2026. If there were under-over futures markets, I'd make a decent-sized wager we'll have a better record in '27 than '26. Tolle, Early, Mayer, probably Campbell, and maybe Witherspoon, should be ensconced in our lineup by then.
So why 2026?
