From, “Why Wrigley Field Must Be Destroyed,” by Rich Cohen,
5/15/12, The Wall Street Journal:
Having not won a World Series since 1908, and having last
appeared on that stage in 1945—a war year in which the professional leagues
were still populated by has-beens and freaks—the Chicago Cubs must contemplate
the only solution that might restore the team to glory: Tear down Wrigley Field.
Destroy it. Annihilate
it. Collapse it with the sort of charges that put the Sands Hotel out of its
misery in Vegas. Implosion or
explosion, get rid of it. That pile of quaintness has to go. Not merely the
structure, but the ground on which it stands.
Annihilate: destroy
utterly; obliterate
Implode: collapse or cause
to collapse violently inward
