• A look at Cubs trades in the pre-expansion era: 1903Mordecai Brown | Photo by FPG/Getty Images One very important player was acquired by trade in this year. The Cubs got off to a fantastic start in 1903, 30-11, and were in first place in early June. They faded and finished third, eight games out, their first winning season in the 20th Century. After the season ended they engineered a deal that brought a Hall of Fame pitcher to the team. Apr...2025See more Mordecai Brown latest news -

There is a pretty high amount of randomness in scheduling. I suspect the schedule did the Cubs no favors in 2024. There were a lot of subpar teams baked into the last half the season and particularly the last 40 games or so. When the...2024Visit the page Quinn Harris injury -

"Hall of Famers Rod Carew, Fergie Jenkins, Mike Schmidt and Ozzie Smith are among the 16 voters on the Hall of Fame's Golden Days Era Committee." - 2017
"Well, it turns out that the players were headed out there to head up to the center field scoreboard and raise the championship banner themselves: The Cubs also had Hall of Famers Ryne Sandberg (1907 WS banner), Fergie Jenkins (1908 WS banner), and Billy Williams (2016 NL Pennant) raise other banners: The banner raising was followed by Anthony Rizzo carrying the World Series trophy as he led his teammates back out to the field: The ceremonies were actually delayed two hours by rain, and now an NL" - 2016

• Rick Reuschel should be in the Hall of Fame
Getty Images The former Cubs righthander is seriously underrated. Let me start another Hall of Fame controversy. I think it’s a serious oversight by the Hall of Fame to not have inducted former Cubs righthander Rick Reuschel, more than 30 years after his retirement. Reuschel didn’t get any real consideration in his one year on the BBWAA ballot in 1997. He got just two votes from writers an...2023See more articles Rick Reuschel
