​CHICAGO — It’s OK to admit you suffer from Chicago Reunion Fatigue, otherwise known as CRF.It’s a nonthreatening ailment brought on by the proliferation of reunions of our legacy sports teams over the last 10 months, from the 40-year anniversary of the Bears’ 1985 Super Bowl team to the Blackhawks’ Banner Years ceremony to Derrick Rose’s jersey retirement by the Bulls to the recent return of the 1983 division champion White Sox.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThere’s an audience for nostalgia days for obvious reasons: The team gets to sell tickets and promote the brand, and adults get another opportunity to tell their kids or grandkids how much better it was back in the day, forgetting their parents told them the same thing.This weekend’s reunion of the 2016 Cubs is no different, though it feels to some like we’re still going through a continuation of a long-running saga that began with the original rebuild in 2012, with former President Theo Epstein’s handpicked successor, Jed Hoyer, trying to fulfill the promise of “sustained success.”It’s kind of like a “Yellowstone” spin-off without Kevin Costner. People will watch, though the feeling is different with a new cast of characters.Reminders of still-active members of the 2016 Cubs now employed elsewhere — Kyle Schwarber, Willson Contreras, Javier Báez, Aroldis Chapman — make fans realize it wasn’t all that long ago they were daydreaming of a dynasty.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThat didn’t happen, of course, and there are too many theories to go into in a newspaper story. And the old chestnut that sold many an Obvious Shirt — “Just one before I die” — also turned out to be a false narrative.Cubs fans promised to be satisfied with one championship in their lifetimes, bringing up the names of dead relatives who never got to see one. Then they discovered it’s OK to desperately want second helpings and blamed ownership for not delivering another.That’s all forgiven this week as the Cubs roll out the red carpet for the drought busters of 2016, who ended a 108-year wait in epic fashion.The 10-year anniversary celebration got off to an early start in April with Anthony Rizzo’s and David Ross’ “The Lovable Reunion” podcast, which features players and personnel from the 2016 season telling stories and sharing laughs, like fraternity brothers remembering things they barely remembered the next day, then maybe embellishing a little.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementNo reunion of any kind can thrive without some embellishment, and Rizzo and Ross are perfectly suited for the job. Both were beloved Cubs players who eventually were cast out of the organization and replaced by new models: the legendary Frank Schwindel at first base for Rizzo and Craig Counsell in the manager’s seat for Ross.They were scheduled to take their podcast game to the big time Thursday with a live show at the Chicago Theatre featuring Joe Maddon, Jake Arri
