After the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the United States was forced to join the Allied Forces. Four years later, two atomic bombs were dropped on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and on September 2, aboard the USS Missouri, the Japanese surrender was received, officially ending the confrontation and setting the stage for the Cold War and … [Read more...]

Nickname ‘Cubs’ Appeared in Chicago Daily News First Time 114 Years Ago

March 27, 2016 12:00 pm By Neil 2 Comments

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.

Due to new owner Jim Hart signing so many young players the … [Read more...]

Smiling Stan Hack, One of the Overlooked Greats in Cubs History

May 27, 2014 12:15 am By Billy Fan 17 Comments

“To us [Midwesterners] to hear New Yorkers or Californians suggest that Harry Caray may not be worthy of the honors given to Mel Allen or Vin Scully is a) almost comically ignorant, sort of like hearing a Midwesterner suggest that the Statue of Liberty was never of any National significance and should be turned into scrap metal, and b) personally offensive. That Harry should have to wait in line behind those wonderful me but comparatively insignificant figures is, beyond any question, an … [Read more...]

Crazy Eights

December 31, 2007 2:00 am By Neil Leave a Comment

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 post season once again. Jim Hendry reportedly is still … [Read more...]
