    J. C. Martin catching for the Cubs | Getty Images Things were not getting any better in the front office. After the disappointment of 1969, the Cubs looked to improve the team in that pre-free agency era by trade. The first one was the Johnny Callison deal, made late in 1969. That one — nope. Part of the problem was that by 1969, Leo Durocher was so disliked around baseball that no one wan...2023

Timeline

    "(2) Cubs birthdays: George Moolic, Walter Curley, George Maisel, Bud Tinning, Johnny Callison, Horacio Piña."

  • 2024
    "Only about a month after the season ended, the Cubs shipped Dick Selma and Oscar Gamble to the Phillies for Johnny Callison."

  • 2023
    "That happened in the bottom of the seventh inning with Johnny Callison on base: As I have written here previously, that one should have been Number 500, in front of a near-full house at Wrigley Field."

  • 2022
    "Thus it made a semblance of sense when, on November 17, 1969, the Cubs traded Selma to the Phillies for Johnny Callison and a PTBNL (who turned out to be righthanded pitcher Larry Colton, who never played a game for the Cubs)."

Just as the 2023 Cubs did, the 1968 Cubs went from 10 games under .500 (35-45) to finishing with a winning record at 84-78.

The Cubs traded Joe Niekro, Gary Ross and Francisco Libran to the San Diego Padres in late April 1969 for Dick Selma. For a time, that looked like a good deal. Selma pitched well in 1969 before fading down the stretch, but it wa...2022
