Applied To Other Teams
The ex-Cubs Factor hypothesis has been applied to other professional Baseball teams in both positive and negative references. For example, sports writer Jeff Blair has argued there exists an "ex-Expos factor" where number of former Montreal Expos players correlates with post-season success. Jim Caple for ESPN.com has similarly proposed an ex-Mariner factor (or XMF) which explores the excellent play by ex-Mariners for other teams in postseason baseball.

—Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)

“A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always like a cat falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
