• Cubs historical sleuthing: Mid-1960s editionThis one looked difficult, but eventually some good clues emerged. This is a nice view of the “traditional” Wrigley Field, with no video boards, clearly from an earlier era. But when? Here’s what we know about this photo, and then I’ll show it to you again.. It has to be after 1962, because there are five score lines on each side of the board. (Also 10 team flags on the board.) It also has to be b...2024Continue with Wrigley Field news today -
• Cubs historical sleuthing: Early Ron Santo editionThis was fun to do — and required matching some other photos to this one. Here is what we know about this photo at first glance: Ron Santo is batting at Wrigley Field The Cubs are playing the Mets (logo on the catcher’s sleeve) The Mets pitcher has a number that begins with 3 It’s cloudy (no shadows) There’s very likely a pretty small crowd (only one fan visible, lots of empty seats) So, this co...2024See also Ron Santo news -
• Wrigley Field historical sleuthing; Hot dog vendor editionHere’s one you’re going to help me with. Here’s a photo where we have exactly one useful clue: The price of hot dogs at Wrigley Field. Hot dogs were this price, 50 cents, for just two seasons, 1975 and 1976. Other than that we don’t have much to go on here. There aren’t any readable scorecards, for example, which has helped in sleuthing other photos. I sent the photo to Mike Bojanowski. After I sh...2024See more articles Wrigley Field headline news -
• Here are two pitchers non-tendered last week who the Cubs should consider signingKyle Finnegan: Jess Rapfogel/Getty Images. Jordan Romano: Greg Fiume/Getty Images. Photo montage: Mike Bojanowski One or both of these guys could really help the Cubs bullpen. Here’s the entire list of MLB players who were non-tendered last week. There are more than 60 of them. Many of them, including Cubs righthander Adbert Alzolay, were injured and not likely to play in 2025. It’s still ...2024See more articles Kyle Finnegan news today -
• Today in 1984 Cubs history: ‘The good Lord wants the Cubs to win’Photo by Rich Pilling/MLB Photos via Getty Images A deflected line drive gave the Cubs a thrilling victory. The Cubs had gone into New York at the end of July and taken three of four from a tough Mets team. That was followed by a visit to Wrigley Field by the Phillies, and when the Cubs took the rubber game of that series on a walkoff sacrifice fly by Jody Davis, the team went into first p...2024Click for news about MLB Photos news today

• Wrigley Field historical sleuthing: Big crowd editionPhoto by Kirn Vintage Stock/Corbis via Getty Images You might not think there are ANY clues here. Dear reader, there most certainly are. Getty Images says: Wrigley Field crowd in Chicago, ca. 1962. Not only is that not correct, it’s not particularly close.

• Cubs historical sleuthing: The Bob Ramazzotti mysteryThanks to an eBay find, we have a uniform number mystery. Recently, Mike Bojanowski came across this eBay listing for a 1949 Cubs scorecard. In it, the person who scored the game made a change which doesn’t match what we know about the number worn by Bob Ramazzotti, who was an infielder for the Cubs from 1949-53. (Mike wound up buying this card.) Just to make it clear, that’s not a photo of Ramazz...2023Visit the page Wrigley Field injuries -
• A few midseason thoughts about David Ross as Cubs manager
Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images How does the Cubs skipper stack up as we head to the season’s second half? A number of BCB readers have suggested, not just this year but in the past, that when I issue grades for the players at midseason, I should also rate the manager and coaching staff. Truth be told, I just don’t know enough about many members of the coaching staff to assign a grade. H...2023Check it out David Ross injury

• Wrigley Field will need some changes before MLB awards the Cubs an All-Star GameLooking west down Addison Street past Wrigley Field, January 17, 2024 | Mike Bojanowski It has to do with ballpark security. The Cubs last hosted an All-Star Game at Wrigley Field in 1990. The only current MLB park that previously hosted a Midsummer Classic that’s had a longer hosting drought is the Oakland Coliseum, which last hosted one in 1987 — and I’m pretty sure you can understand wh...2024See more Wrigley Field

• Cubs 6, Giants 5: The Professor was magnificent...Photo by Jamie Sabau/Getty Images ... and then the bullpen almost blew the game. Again. You know, it wasn’t the grand slam hit by Jorge Soler in the eighth that brought the Giants within one run that pissed me off. No, it was the walks by Mark Leiter Jr. that loaded the bases for Soler. Leiter was ahead of all the hitters in the inning! Why doesn’t he have a put-away out pitch? Sigh. I sup...2024Read about Jorge Soler salary rumors -

Here’s a video I found that was titled “Cubs game, Wrigley Field, Chicago, early 1940s.” The scoreboard is clearly visible at the beginning of the video, as you can see at the top of this post.

• Today in Cubs history: The Cubs win one of the coldest, wettest games ever played in Wrigley Field
Dennis Wierzbicki-USA TODAY Sports The Cubs had no business winning this game. And yet, they did. April weather in Chicago can be, as you know, iffy. But on one April afternoon in Chicago a few years ago, a game was played under conditions that, well, they really shouldn’t have. Game time weather conditions: 38 degrees, drizzle, wind blowing in at 24 miles per hour. It’s been colder at ga...2023Click for news about Wrigley Field trade rumors

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is an update to the latest in this series, an article posted in November 2021 that chronicled Cubs scheduled game times through all of Wrigley Field’s history dating back to 1916, when the Cubs first moved to the corner of Clark & Addison...2024Read about Wrigley Field -
• 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.

• Wrigley Field historical sleuthing: Jack Brickhouse editionYou’d think there aren’t enough clues. You’d be wrong. 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 Cubs spotted the White Sox a 5-0 lead, then a rather intense but brief thundersh...2024See also White Sox -

• Cubs historical sleuthing: Ticket editionJust when is this ticket from? The photo of the pair of Cubs tickets shown above was sent to me by BCB reader Kevin Kosgard, who said he found them at his dad’s place. Here’s a larger view: All right. The clues we have here so far are: The box seat tickets cost $1.65 each. The game was on Wednesday, June 8. The first thing to find out, then, is when box seats sold for $1.65. I ask...2023See more articles Wrigley Field -
• Cubs historical sleuthing: National anthem edition
Here’s a stumper for you to solve. Can you help find the date this was taken? The woman singing the national anthem in this photo is Karla Kaufman. Or, at least, that was her name then. I was sent this photo by her now-husband, who was wondering exactly when this photo was taken. Neither of them can remember the exact date. So I had a look, and I also sent it to Mike Bojanowski.

Cubs pitcher Tony Kaufman, the starter that day | Getty Images Dozens of runs crossed the plate on an August afternoon a century ago, and that mark has not been surpassed. The 1922 Cubs got off to a 10-3 start, then fell into the bottom reaches of the National League. A combined 20-30 record in May and June had them in sixth place, 11½ games out of first, entering July. Then they went on a...2022See more articles Red Sox
