    • Cubs historical sleuthing: 1960s edition
    Just a bit of history as we await today’s spring game. This is one of the clearest color photos you’ll see from the 1960s. I’m guessing it was taken with Kodachrome or Ektachrome film, which was state of the art back then. (Does anyone still use photo film?) This one’s easy to pinpoint. We are looking at a scoreboard that has 20 teams on it, and the Cubs score line has been moved to the middle, so...2024

    Lou Brock with the Cubs in 1962 | Getty Images Well, here’s the worst one. There’s no sugarcoating this year. In it, the Cubs made the worst trade in their history and what is arguably the worst trade in major-league history, sending Lou Brock to the Cardinals for Ernie Broglio. To understand why the Cubs made that deal, a little background is necessary. In 1963, the Cubs actually contend...2023

    Photo by David Cooper/Toronto Star via Getty Images That’s what speed do! Over the years, there is a perception that the Royals are a franchise infatuated by speed. Don’t get me wrong, speed is something you can’t teach, and I enjoy a stolen base, a triple or a terrific outfield play as much as the next guy. And speed most often facilitates those plays. But if a hitter can’t get on base, t...2023
