The Cubs were coming off a 94-loss season in 1956, and they tried quite a few changes to make a difference in ‘57. It didn’t work, as the Cubs lost 92 in 1957.

Banks would go 0-for-4 in that debut game, which the Cubs lost 16-4. Eventually he’d homer a couple of times that September, beginning a Hall of Fame career. That didn’t help the team, whic...2024
