There were 40,318 in the flesh at opening day (compared with 20,202 last year), season-ticket sales were up more than 40%, and a franchise that had been ready as late as December 1975 to blow the Windy City looked solid as a line-drive double-all because the greatest promoter baseball has ever known was back in action...
