Cubs as a US state would've been something.
It ain't no little piddly Puerto Rico, it's the 18th largest island on the planet, some 40,000 sq. miles of Caribbean paradise. Roughly the land area of Ohio. And like Ohio, it's home to over 11,000,000 people.
And had it been a US state, it's population today might be double that from frost-belt migrants.
