    • Cubs 3, Padres 2: Michael Busch walks it off
    Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports A game that started like many recent others had a stunning ending. New Cubs first baseman Michael Busch can be described in part as just getting his job done. You don’t hear many quotes from him; he just plays pretty good defense and has been hitting reasonably well in his first full MLB season. That all changed with one swing of the bat, as Busch hit the...2024

    • Today in Cubs history: George Mitterwald blasts three home runs
    Photo by Ron Vesely/Getty Images The Cubs have scored 18 runs or more in a game just 20 times in the history of Wrigley Field. Here's the story of one of those games. The Cubs had repeatedly contended from 1967-73, as you know they never won anything. After ‘73 GM John Holland traded away many of the stars who’d become popular, and later Cubs legends despite that failure to win. So the 197...2024

  • 2020
    "While everyone else watched Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa hit homers in 1998, the Yankees had one of MLB's greatest seasons -- but it has been largely lost to history."

  • 2019
    "While many of the eras more controversial stars – Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa and Manny Ramirez for starters – are likely to continue to look from the outside in, an impressive class is very a guarantee."
