• A look at Cubs trades in the pre-expansion era: 1960Richie Ashburn bats for the Cubs in 1960 | Photo by Hy Peskin/Getty Images This was not a good year for Cubs deals. In 1959, the Cubs had contended briefly, and finished with 74 wins, their most since 1952 and second-most since 1946. They had the two-time MVP Ernie Banks anchoring a pretty good offense. The first thing the Cubs did in the offseason was fire manager Bob Scheffing. The edict...2024See more articles Ernie Banks news and rumors -

• The 1970 Cubs were better than the 1969 Cubs. Why didn’t they win?Jim Hickman scores for the Cubs against the Mets on May 23, 1970 | Photo by James Drake /Sports Illustrated via Getty Images It was another failure, in some ways more frustrating than the fabled ‘69 team. Yesterday, I posted this article about how some players who the Cubs let go for almost nothing in the late 1950s and early 1960s might have helped the 1969 team get over the hump and make...2024See also Oscar Gamble headline news

• Wrigley Field historical sleuthing: 1970s Jack Brickhouse editionHere’s one from near the end of Brickhouse’s Cubs broadcasting tenure. Last week, I ran this photo of a young Jack Brickhouse in the Wrigley Field broadcast booth and sleuthed out the date, which turned out to be September 3, 1949. The photo above is of an obviously older Brickhouse, again in the Wrigley WGN-TV broadcast booth, somewhat excitedly holding a modern calculator. (Well, “modern” for th...2023Click for news about Wrigley Field -

I’ve seen this photo of Jack Brickhouse in the Wrigley Field press box a number of times, mostly on WGN-TV retrospectives, and have always wondered when it was taken. Well, you know me — I love sleuthing these things, so I decided to take this one on.

• The story of baseball can’t be told without Willie MaysSet Number: X14380 Very few ballplayers loved the game like Willie Mays did and the game reciprocated that love even before his passing. When someone who was larger than life passes on from this life, you often hear people say that it's “impossible to put into words" just how important that particular person was. While that might be 100 percent true when it comes to the legendary Willie Ma...2024Visit the page Willie Mays -

• A few more thoughts about Marquee Sports Network’s Cubs game broadcasts
Marquee Sports Network The channel’s live game presentation still leaves much to be desired. Back in June, I wrote this article with some thoughts I had about Marquee Sports Network’s Cubs game broadcasts. It wasn’t pretty. I had hoped things might change, but little did. The game broadcasts are still borderline unwatchable. Before I continue, I want to tell you that in the 17 years Bleed ...2022Read about Marquee Sports

• Marquee Sports Network’s ratings are down... but it’s not just because the Cubs have been bad
There are other factors causing the Cubs channel’s numbers to not be good. On Friday, the Tribune published this article by Robert Channick on the fortunes of the Cubs’ TV channel, Marquee Sports Network. It’s paywalled for subscribers, but I can sum up the issues delineated by Channick. He writes that viewership on the channel is down 56 percent. Here are some of the reasons: “We launched into a...2022Visit the page Marquee Sports

Dennis Lamp was the Cubs’ third-round pick in 1971 out of St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower, California, the same school that eventually produced Nomar Garciaparra.
