Would a World Series win really be good for Cubs Nation?

For the true fan, no doubt about it.

What I speak of is the fans out there who like the idea of the team who hasnt won in almost a century. It could be a disaster for merchandising after they get out the initial run of World Champion Cubs merchandise.

Think about it, half of the mystique surrounding the Chicago Cubs to the common fan is that 99 year draught, and while 99 years is impressive, and by impressive I mean pathetic, 100 years would be legendary.

I remember before 2004, Red Sox nation was just as big as Cubs nation, but 2 years later, there just another perennial contender with a lot of money to throw around.

Im all about the Cubs marching all the way to the end, and doing so for many years to come, but I bet if it were to happen, there would be a lot of fans out there who would drop off. Sure, I know what your going to say, who needs 'em, and I agree, but still Its an interesting thought.
