    Oscar Gamble with the Yankees in 1981 | Photo by Manny Millan /Sports Illustrated via Getty Images The Cubs collapsed on the field. And the front office made some terrible trades, too. 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. That meant they went 49-33 from that 10-games-under spot, a .598 winning percentage...2023
