Coverage - TV: Comcast SportsNet - Radio: 720 WGN, XM Radio Channel 189 Location - Wrigley Field, Chicago Jason Marquis (1-0, 3.47/1.50) vs. Ben Sheets (3-0, 0.96/0.64) Lou Piniella's crew returns to the field tonight for the first of three games against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Cubs stumbled into Monday's off day after losing 3 of the previous 4 games. The Cubs must...
Game Twenty-Four: Cubs (15-8) vs. Nationals (8-16) Game Time - 6:10pm C.T. Coverage - TV: Comcast SportsNet - Radio: 720 WGN, XM Radio Channel 185 Location - Nationals Park, Washington D.C. Carlos Zambrano (3-1, 2.67/1.10) vs. Matt Chico (0-4, 6.04/1.55) For most of the sports world today's focus is on the NFL draft, but Lou Piniella's team is in the District of Columbia and will try to avoid their first 3-game losing streak of the...
After watching the Cubs finish off a tremendous weekend against the Pittsburgh Pirates, WGN treated us all once again with more baseball on Sunday night. But this was not a game; this was a trip down memory lane that featured all of the sights and sounds from the last 60 years of Cubs' baseball. The 2-hour special, Cubs Forever, was packed full of highlights from some of the greatest games in Cubs history as well...
There will never be another one like him. To put in simply, he was one of a kind. But the word simple and Harry Caray were seldom used in the same sentence. He was original and honest. He was baseball and for an entire generation, he was seemingly as important to the Chicago Cubs as the players on the field. Harry made the game fun and his enthusiasm for the game was evident from his...
The CCO Feedback column is back. Over the next couple of days we will run another article from one of the Faithful, but today is Jim Kneisley's turn and I appreciate the time he took to share a few very cool stories.... When Neil says he's a history buff and that I've lived long enough to see most of it, you smile. When he asks for a little Chicago history and especially about the Cubs,...
With tomorrow being the first day of 2008, the mainstream media will undoubtedly begin reminding the Faithful, on seemingly a daily basis, why this year is significant to the Chicago Cubs. While many organizations celebrate such anniversaries, it is safe to say there probably will not be any references to the accomplishment from a century ago by the organization. The Cubs are coming off a successful year and should compete for a spot in the...
All appears to be quiet on the North Side of Chicago as baseball executives take a break for the Holidays. Kenny Williams was on ESPN 1000 with Bruce Levine on Saturday morning and he stated he only takes Christmas Day off. In the age of email, Blackberries and iPhones, general managers are awarded with as much time away as the rest of the professional world. Andy MacPhail let it be known on Saturday that Erik...
90 years ago today, November 11, 1917, the Cubs traded pitcher Mike Pendergast and catcher Pickles Dilhoefer, along with $60,000 to the Phillies for Grover Cleveland Alexander and catcher Bill Killefer. Alexander posted a 128-83 record for the Cubs between 1918 and 1926 before finishing his Hall of Fame career in Philadelphia in 1930. One year ago today Aramis Ramirez opted out of his contract and appeared to be heading west to play with the...
The Chicago Cubs became the first back-to-back World Series Champions after Oval Overall won his second game of the series. Overall threw a 3-hit complete game shutout and a 1st inning RBI Frank Chance would prove to be the difference in the game. Overall worked around 4 walks and a wild pitch by striking out 10 and finished the 1908 World Series with a 0.98 ERA. Johnny Evers was 3-for-4 in Game 5. Evers was...
Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown won his second game of the 1908 World Series with a complete game 4-hit shutout. Brown was 29-9 with a 1.47 ERA in 1908. Brown threw over 312 innings and recorded 27 complete games in 31 starts and he also made 13 appearances out of Frank Chance's bullpen that season. The Cubs RBI's came from Solly Hofman and Harry Steinfeldt. The Cubs scored one of their three runs on an error...
The Tigers bounced back in Game Three at West Side Grounds in Chicago behind a complete game by George Mullin. The Tigers' right-hander was 17-13 in the regular season with 26 complete games. Jack "the Giant Killer" Pfiester took the hill for Frank Chance, the 12-game winner in 1908 led the NL in ERA in 1907, 1.15, and was 9th in the NL with a 2.00 ERA in 1908. Pfiester received his nickname because of...
Game Two of the 1908 World Series shifted to the West Side Grounds in Chicago and was dominated by both starting pitchers. Orval Overall made the start for Frank Chance a day after pitching a third of an inning in relief. Hughie Jennings went with 18-game winner Bill Donovan. Both pitchers threw a complete game and kept the opposition of the bases until later innings. The Cubs broke a scoreless tie with a 6-run 8th...
The year was 1908 and it was the first time the ball was dropped in New York, the first time Mother's Day was celebrated and the last time the Cubs won the World Series. The year is embedded in the mind of every Cubs' fan but do you know how they won their second World Championship? The Cubs won the series 4 games to 1 over the Detroit Tigers and in the process became the...
With the Cleveland Indians taking a commanding lead in the ALCS on Tuesday night and the World Series starting a week from today, Baseball's Hot Stove Season is right around the corner. Soon all of baseball will start focusing on improving their team for next season....in the meantime here are a few blasts from the Cubs' storied past....
It is hard to believe the Cubs have just 4 games left before the All-Star break but tonight is game #84 of 162. And while the Cubs have played better ball of late, a solid performance from the offense tonight would be a good way to head into their final three games of the first half against a very dangerous team in the Pittsburgh Pirates. While Lou Piniella's crew waits to take the field tonight...
Happy April Fools Day and Greetings from Cincinnati.... The 2007 MLB season gets underway tonight with the New York Mets and the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cubs get started on Monday afternoon with Carlos Zambrano scheduled to make his third consecutive Opening Day start. Rumors are abound that Zambrano and the Cubs will sign a new contract before Monday, with the possible announcement coming on Tuesday....only time will tell. Historically, this was the week the...
Happy Birthday "Cubs" On March 27, 1902, the Chicago Daily News used the name "Cubs" for the first time in print. The nickname was coined when Frank Selee (1902-1905) became the new manager of the Chicago National League Ball Club, Inc. The nickname "Cubs" was derived from the new manager rebuilding the team with young, unproven players to replace the veterans that had jumped leagues to play in the American League for higher pay....
The Cubs end Spring Training for the third year in a row in Las Vegas this week against Lou Piniella's former team, the Seattle Mariners. The 2007 MLB season starts one week from today with the Cubs' season just 8 days away in Cincinnati. March 27th is a HUGE day in the History of the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs traded Dontrelle Willis to the Marlins and acquired Gary Matthews and Bob Dernier from the Phillies,...
Two weeks and counting.... This is the week a spot was created for Ernie Banks when the Cubs traded Roy Smalley to the Braves. Shawon Dunston was born, Joe Borowski broke his arm in 2005, Jack Quinlan was killed, Glenallen Hill was born and the Cubs traded for Gary Matthews, Jr. Now to the 'Way Back Machine'........
Daylight savings time and 22 days left until the Cubs open the regular season in Cincinnati. Highlights from this week include.... The South Side of Chicago was given a team and permission to use a former name by the team on the North Side, The Mayor of Wrigley Field was born, Sammy Sosa was extended and Rich Hill turns 27 today. Now to the 'Way Back Machine'.......
Greetings from the desert.... Highlights from this week in Cubs History includes Andre Dawson signed with the Cubs in 1987, the Tinkers to Evers to Chance famous infield was completed, Hack Wilson was elected to the Hall and the Cubs played their first game in Mesa. Now to the 'Way Back Machine'.......
Happy Birthday Ron Santo! The Cubs 2007 Cactus League schedule gets underway on Thursday at Mesa against the San Francisco Giants. The Cubs have announced Jason Marquis will take the ball on the opening day of spring training. Tuesday is the other big day on the calendar this week....Ron Santo will find out if he has been elected to the Hall of Fame by the Veteran's Committee, what a great belated birthday present for Santo...
The last full week of February. Position players report date is Monday and the Cubs have a little meeting scheduled for Tuesday to discuss Carlos Zambrano and his 2007 paycheck. Plus Cubs single game tickets go on sale on Friday....those are just of the few highlights of the week ahead. As for historically, this was the week the Cubs traded Manny Trillo, resigned Greg Maddux, blew up the Bartman Ball, Murphy sold to Taft, construction...
The Cubs were coming off a horrible season, they had just seen their crosstown rivals win their division as they finished near the bottom of the National League, in fact 19 games back of the Phillies and just 3 games ahead of the Mets for the worst record in the league. They just hired a new manager and were feeling pressure to erase years upon years of losing records....12 to be exact. They had a...
Another week closer to the 2007 season....pitchers and catchers report to Fitch Park on Wednesday. This was the week the Cubs traded Bill Madlock in 1977, Carlos Zambrano avoided arbitration a year ago, Keith Moreland was traded for Goose Gossage, Ken Hubbs was killed, King Kelly was sold to Boston and the face of baseball's steroid controversy was given a name. Let's step into the 'Way Back Machine'.......
Super Bowl....Super Bears. While today's big game will be at the forefront of sports fans everywhere, the upcoming week is the last full week without baseball in 2007 until sometime in late October or early November. Pitchers and catchers report to big league camps in 10 days and in 24 days Carlos Zambrano should be throwing the first pitch of the exhibition season to the Giants. Let's step into the 'Way Back Machine'.......
On the eve of the Super Bowl, the city of Chicago is preparing for the biggest game for the franchise in 21 years. This past week there was a member of the mainstream media that used the word drought in reference to the just over two decades since the Bears had won the Super Bowl....drought? That amount of time is just a walk in the park. With all kidding aside, what if the Chicago was...
Lou Piniella was born Louis Victor Piniella on August 28, 1943 in Tampa, Florida. Sweet Lou, as he was later nicknamed because of his swing, was signed as an amateur free agent by the Cleveland Indians in 1962 and was later drafted by the Washington Senators in 1963. He made his major league debut at the age of 21 in 1964 with the Baltimore Orioles. After an attempt to make Piniella a catcher in 1968...
This Week In Cubs History returns to the CCO.... Every Sunday from now to the start of the season there will be a weekly recap on what has taken place in the history of the Chicago National League Ball Club. Some entries will be direct days in Cubs history, some will have trades or signings that helped the Cubs land future players and in some instances future Hall of Famers, along with occasional birthdays....for instance,...
Deals are being signed all over baseball as the one-month mark nears to when pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training. Most of the contracts being signed however are more of the Minor League variety. The Cubs made a signing of their own on Friday by inking utility man Tomas Perez. Several reports have indicated that Perez signed a Minor League contract with an invitation to Spring Training to compete for a backup middle infielder...
Only 34 days until pitchers and catchers report.... All has been quiet for the most part on the North Side of Chicago the first 10 days of the New Year. There was an announcement on Tuesday about more non-roster invitees to Spring Training, but other than that....nothing much at all, not even the daily updates on Cliff Floyd. Some of the silence was broken on Wednesday from 1060 West Addison and around the league. So,...
Pitchers and Catchers report to spring training in 40 days, the Cubs Convention is less than 2 weeks away....the excitement for the 2007 season is building as everyday passes. Teams are starting to take shape, minor league contracts with invites to spring training are being signed and the announcement of this year's Hall of Fame Class is on Tuesday. Baseball is indeed a year round sport, in many ways it seems like just yesterday when...
AC036198 and EAMUS CATULI.... What does that mean? Are they Greek or something? Well, they are actually Latin and they are signs on the rooftop of the Lakeview Baseball Club just beyond the right field wall of Wrigley Field on Sheffield Avenue....
With the World Series in full swing I thought this was the appropriate time to share a piece of Cubs history. This is also a special day in the history of the CCO, one year ago today this site officially launched and took on a life of its own. Everyone here has enjoyed sharing our passion with the rest of the Cubs Faithful. One of the added benefits is receiving emails from Cubs fans everywhere...
For those of you looking for "You Know Better", don't worry Jason and his colorful opinions will return next week, with that being said I thought we could have a little fun and give the talk of next season and beyond a little break. So until tonight's game against the Astros let's look at the humorous side of baseball and the Cubs, like the Old Style commercials say, we all must have a sense of...
Rainy Days of Yesteryear....What to Do? It is raining at the park and the game between the Cubs and the Diamondbacks has been postponed until 12:00pm C.D.T. on Thursday, August 3rd and will be a part of a double header. So does anyone remember back in the day when there was a rain delay the telecast would go to another form of....well baseball? Whether it was This Week in Baseball with Mel Allen, not that...
Muhammad Ali, who was the epitome of greatness, told everyone who would listen repeatedly, "I am the greatest of all time". With that being said, MLB.com is asking fans to decide who is the single greatest player in a franchise's history....just one that is it. The debate as they refer to it is called "Hometown Heroes" and they are asking fans to vote between now and September 17th. There are 5 nominees per club, 150...
April 2nd - April 8th Greetings from Cincinnati....Opening Day is tomorrow and is there a better time of year? So much optimism!!! Do the Cubs have the 2K6 version of "Tuffy" Rhodes on the roster? How about Willie Smith? Who will get the first hit of the season for the Cubs? How about RBI? What about home run? We shall all find out soon. This was the week the Cubs traded Dennis Eckersley and Mitch...
This past Monday was the 104th Anniversary of the First Use of the Nickname "Cubs" On March 27, 1902, the Chicago Daily News used the name "Cubs" for the first time in print. While there are varying accounts of how the nickname the "Cubs" actually came about, one thing that is consistent is the date of its first use. The nickname was coined when Frank Selee (1902-1905) became the new manger of the Chicago National...
March 26th - April 1st The Cubs go to Vegas this week to finish their Spring Training season and then it’s off to Cincinnati for Opening Day. Eight days left....are you ready for some baseball? March 27th is a HUGE day in the History of the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs traded Dontrelle Willis to the Marlins and acquired Gary Matthews and Bob Dernier from the Phillies, both on March 27th....18 years apart. And the nickname...
March 19th - March 25th The last full week of March, Opening Day for Major League Baseball is in 14 days, the Cubs begin the 2006 season in 15 days. Shaun will be in Mesa this week and I will be in Cincinnati on Opening Day and 3/4 of the CCO will be in Chicago for opening weekend....stay tuned for a new feature coming soon to the CCO....Talkin' Cubs Live. This was the week the...
March 12th - March 18th Opening Day is getting closer with every breath we take, three weeks from Monday the Cubs open the 2006 Season in Cincinnati against the Reds and the CCO will be right behind the Cubs dugout to provide more coverage for the Cubs Faithful. Shaun is heading to Mesa at the end of the month to provide more coverage of Spring Training. This was the week the Cubs gave Sosa the...
I look forward every month to the newest edition of Vine Line and I was disappointed I did not receive this month's issue before I left for Spring Training. I remembered getting a free copy last year during Spring Training and I was hoping that would be an option again this year as well. Let me pause for a second and say that I do not work for the Vine Line or receive any benefits...
March 5th - March 11th Greetings from Mesa....I am heading to the park for my last live game of Spring Training. This has been a blast and I hope everyone has enjoyed the photo galleries. Jason is going today as well....so it should be a lot of fun. There will be another photo gallery and recap from today's game. Most of the news this week has surrounded the upcoming knee surgery for Kerry Wood, but...
February 26th - March 4th Spring Training is in full swing and the first game is on Thursday....the Ides of March are upon us. The CCO will be in Mesa next weekend, so don't forget to check in throughout the weekend for updates and photos from Spring Training. This was a busy week in the life of Dave Kingman. Ryne Sandberg signed his huge contract in 1992 and Major League Baseball seemed to have picked...
February 19th - February 26th The last week of February....position players report on Monday and the first Spring Training game is in 10 days. 2006 is here, are you ready? This was the week the Cubs traded Manny Trillo and blew up the Bartman Ball. This was also the week that lights were approved for Wrigley Field. Will the Cubs write any history this week? Now to the way back machine.......
I never got a chance to meet him, but like most of the Cubs Faithful I feel like I knew him. I welcomed him into my house everyday....he was my after school special. No matter how good or bad the Cubs were over the years there was one constant....Harry Caray. We all laughed at his mispronunciations, his slurred stories and his jokes with Steve Stone about paying for dinner and Stoney's cigars. He was not...
The 8th Annual Toast for Harry Caray Today at 5:30 pm C.S.T., Harry Caray's Restaurant is hosting the 8th Annual "World's Largest Toast" to Harry Caray at his restaurant downtown. ESPN Radio 1000 will be broadcasting and Dutchie Caray will lead the crowd in a rendition of "Take Me Out To The Ballgame." Bars and establishments in over 80 countries and all 50 states participate at 5:30 pm central time. Here is the official announcement...
February 12th - February 18th Another week has come and gone and we are that much closer to Pitchers and Catchers reporting; just 3 short days....and the position players report in 8 days. This is the week we all lost Harry Caray. I cannot believe it has been eight years....where has the time gone? Unfortunately Harry has been in the news this past week due to Milo Hamilton's new book. Hamilton was all over the...
The Billy Goat, the Black Cat and Steve Bartman The 2006 Season is quickly approaching and before long the conversation in the media will turn to 'Is this the Year the Cubs end the Curse?'....I can see the headlines now. Are the Cubs really cursed? That is THE question of the last century. With the recent end of the 'curses' for the Red Sox and White Sox, the Cubs remain as the last of the...
Juan Pierre in a Cubs Uniform Juan Pierre is in the new Mobile ESPN Commercial that was shown during the Super Bowl. He is stealing the 'street'. It was a great surprise to see him in full uniform doing what we all hope he does during the regular season. ESPN Commercial-To play the commercial, click on the 'Guide' button on the left side. Here is to the start of the 2006 Season...GO CUBS GO!!!...
February 5th - February 11th It is time for another installment of 'This Week in Cubs History'. I know it is Super Bowl Sunday, but with Pitchers and Catchers reporting to Spring Training in 10 days the 2006 Major League season is right around the corner and in my world the 2006 season starts as soon as the Super Bowl is over. This was the same week that the Cubs traded Bill Madlock and Kyle...
With the Cubs Off-Season slowing down a little, I thought this would be the right time to look further into the Cubs past, a trip down Cubstory if you will. The Cubs Faithful have been complaining over the last two seasons about the ineffectiveness of Dusty Baker. Most think Dusty has done a terrible job since 2003, but who has done a 'good job' in the minds of the Cubs Faithful? Jim Frey gave the...
January 29th - February 4th Another week as come and gone so it is time for another installment of 'This Week in Cubs History'. Last week the Cubs did add to the timeline with the signing of Wade Miller and the acquisition of Angel Pagan. I cannot believe it, but this week is the one-year anniversary of the Cubs trading Sammy Sosa to the Orioles. With all that has happened over the last year, it...
January 21st - January 28th Welcome to a new feature here at Chicago Cubs Online, This Week In Cubs History. I am a history buff and I believe you can learn a lot from the past. Satchel Paige said, "Don't look back, something might be gaining on you." The Chicago Cubs have a rich history full of interesting characters and events that should never be forgotten. Some of us think that if it 'happened before...
The History of the Cubs Convention from the Creator of the Cubs Convention, John McDonough and the Manager of Special Events Joe Rios The Cubs Convention....why? I know every year the Cubs hold their annual convention to kick off the upcoming baseball season. The Cubs invite current and former players, people pile into the Hilton and it becomes 'Cubs Heaven', but how did it get started? There is little information on the Internet concerning the...
Hall of Fame announcement to be made today at 1:00 E.T./ 12:00 C.D.T. 7 Former Cubs on the Hall of Fame Ballot The results of the Hall of Fame balloting will be announced today and there are 7 former Chicago Cubs on the Ballot: Lee Smith, Andre Dawson, Bruce Sutter, Rich 'Goose' Gossage, Rick Aguilera, Gary Gaetti and Doug Jones. In order to be elected a player must obtain 75% of ballots cast from the...
With all off the talk surrounding the Hall of Fame on Thursday, it made me think of Ron Santo. Over the years I have become a HUGE fan of Ron Santo, not the player, but the man himself. I am too young to remember him playing 3rd base for the Cubs, but as a fan of baseball I knew of Ron Santo at a very early age. Over the years I have come to cherish...
Another View of A Kerry Wood Sighting Congratulations to the Chicago Bears on beating the Green Bay Packers on Christmas Day and winning the season series for the first time since 1991. The Chicago Bears - 2005 NFC North Division Champions On December 15th I ran a post entitled 'A Kerry Wood Sighting'. I was at one of Woody's rehab assignments last summer in Nashville. It was fun to see Kerry Wood at a minor...
The Chicago Cubs Rumor Mill and Hot Stove slowed down on Wednesday, except for the late news about Corey Patterson (scroll down). Check back and I will catch up the rumor mill once more news is available, plus I contacted a Tampa Bay Devil Rays site about Julio Lugo and Aubrey Huff....what they have to say is VERY interesting. With Wednesday being slow, I thought I would take a moment to share my Kerry Wood...
Wrigley Field Construction Photos After all of the Thanksgiving turkey, football, family and friends, the snow starts to fall and the cold winter winds are howling. What is there to do? Many stay inside and watch movies or go out and start their Christmas shopping.... not me. I headed out to the old ball field at 1060 West Addison. Doesn't everyone go to Wrigley Field at the end of November? You'd be surprised to know...
Like most men, I grew up playing baseball and now 2-3 times a week I strap on the cleats and play softball. I never had great power, just a base hitter....but I always could (and still can) catch anything you throw at me. I always liked players that were not natural athletes; Pete Rose, Ryne Sandberg, George Brett....those guys were my childhood heroes. I always played shortstop or second base, because the coach knew I...
Former Chicago Cub Outfielder Sammy Sosa filed for free agency on Monday, October 31st. Sosa had a very unsuccessful season with the Baltimore Orioles after being traded last January for Jerry Hariston, Jr., infielder Mike Fontenot and pitcher Dave Crouthers. Sosa hit only .221 with14 home runs and 45 RBI's in 102 games for the Orioles. Sammy was often injured and finished the season on the DL. Sosa was dealt as a way of a...
Part 5 of 5 - The Bullpen The relief pitchers in 2005 had as much change as the rest of the team. When the Cubs left Mesa in March, the bullpen was full of experienced veterans with a long track record of success. I can even remember Harold Reynolds (ESPN - Baseball Tonight) saying the Cubs had the best bullpen in the National League at the start of the season. I remember thinking 'what is...
Part 4 of 5 - The Starting Pitchers The starting rotation, like the rest of the team, could not stay healthy. What was supposed to be the strength of the team became another weakness for Dusty Baker. Mark Prior started the year on the DL, and then he got beaned, missed another month and finished with a decent season. Carlos Zambrano continued to shine and despite throwing too many pitches, became the ace of the...
Part 3 of 5 - The Outfield The outfield of the 2005 Chicago Cubs had a lot of change and drama everyday. With the off-season departure of Sammy Sosa and Moises Alou, the Cubs searched the entire year to replace their numbers and experience. Jeromy Burnitz did a fine job in Right Field, but he was the only consistent throughout the year. Hollandsworth and Dubois were traded. Lawton and Gerut were added, and then traded....
Part 2 of 5 - The Infield & Catchers The infield of the 2005 Chicago Cubs had it's ups (Derrek Lee and Ronny Cedeno) and downs (as in the DL). Nomar started the year at shortstop and ended it at 3rd. Todd Walker was on and off the DL during the year. Aramis Ramirez had his leg problems again. Jose Macias played way too much. Jerry Hariston did not play enough (Hariston is a natural...
Part 1 of 5 Well I promised it, so I guess I have to deliver. The 2005 Season Review. This was a season none of us ever want to live through again. Too many injuries, too many mistakes and not enough winning. I will admit that I did not see the 2005 Chicago Cubs going to the World Series or even making the playoffs. When Alou was allowed to leave and Sammy was traded, I...
The Wrigley Field bleacher expansion started after the 2005 season was over and crews are hard at work. The Cubs have stated the expansion will be complete by Opening Day of 2006. Here is some useless information about Wrigley Field....
(from BNB) I was listening to the Angels-Yankees game tonight on ESPN radio. And there was a play where a fan almost interfered with a ball near the seats in the left field foul area. Does this sound familiar? The Angels' outfielder made the catch...then Dave Campbell blurts out 'That was almost like Steve Bartman'....
(from BNB) I was not planning on doing a blog today....I was going to take a day off. I have been getting a lot of searches on 2 signs that are on the rooftops on Sheffield Ave. These 2 signs are 'AC026198' and 'EAMUS CATULI!'....
(from BNB) During the Cubs-Reds game on Tuesday night. Derrek Lee made history. In the 1st inning off of Eric Milton, Lee hit his 42nd home of the season to go along with 100 RBI's. Derrek Lee is the first Cub to total 100 runs scored, 100 RBIs, 40 home runs and 40 doubles. Congratulations!!...
(from BNB) Tomorrow is the end of an era when the Cubs play their last game in 'Old' Busch Stadium. The Cubs played their first game at Busch Stadium on May 24, 1966....
(from BNB) This past July 31, Ryne Sandberg was inducted into Baseball's Hall of Fame. And on Sunday, August 28, 2005 the Cubs are retiring Ryno's #23....
(from BNB) The Day of Rest.... This is a quick preview of what I will be doing in the offseason, days of etc. I will post little tidbits, reviews, roster moves...just things that will make you think. This is one of the many tidbits I will share....
