• 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

The Cubs sneaked near first place in late June, just two games out after a seven-game winning streak, but then lost 13 of 17 and fell out of contention. A couple of minor trades were made during that fall, but it was the one that happened after th...2023Read about Tommy Davis injury status

"(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)."

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...2023Check it out Leo Durocher trade rumors -

Dick Selma | Wikimedia Commons It might have cost the team the 1970 NL East title. This is an almost-overlooked deal in the parade of bad Cub trades from that era. 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...2022See more NL East
