• Wrigley Field historical sleuthing: Andre Dawson editionThis photo is not what it might seem at first glance. This is, obviously, a photo of Andre Dawson at Wrigley Field, holding his arms up to adoring bleacher fans. That happened literally hundreds of times during Dawson’s six years with the Cubs. But look more closely at the photo. Dawson’s not wearing Cubs pinstripes in this photo; it’s a gray road uniform. Here’s the full photo: After...2025Read about Wrigley Field news -
• MLB uniforms will look better this year after Nike addresses player complaintsPhoto illustration: Mike Bojanowski Eventually, they’ll completely revert to the pre-2024 style. The photo illustration above is just one part of the uniform fiasco Nike put forth for MLB players in 2024. The Shōta Imanaga jersey at the left was the one he wore for his introductory news conference in January 2024, before the new Nike style debuted. The onel on the right, with the smaller n...2025Read about Spring Training news -
• Wrigley Field historical sleuthing: Bert Haas editionThere are several interesting things in this photo. If you don’t know who Bert Haas was — and honestly I didn’t know much before I got this photo from BCB reader Brian Peterson — he played for the Dodgers, Reds, Phillies, Giants and White Sox from 1937-51, with a couple years missed for World War II service. He did make one All-Star team (1947) and in his career batted .264/.323/.355 in 721 games....2025Read about Wrigley Field news -
• Cubs historical sleuthing: Ernie Banks signs autographs on the road editionJust when was the Cubs Hall of Famer signing these autographs? Hey, it’s Ernie Banks autograph-signing weekend here at the sleuthing desk, so after yesterday’s photo of Ernie signing at Wrigley Field, here’s another one featuring the Cubs Hall of Famer. That’s definitely Ernie Banks, and he’s definitely signing for fans. But when and where? (Where, because this is clearly not Wrigley Field and Ern...2025Read about Ernie Banks news -

Here’s the full image from above: Getty Images/Photo illustration by Mike Bojanowski Here’s my wish for you to have a happy, healthy 2025, and also a wish for the Chicago Cubs to have a successful season and hopefully return to the postseason. If you are looking for a baseball alternative to the C...2025Read about Chicago Cubs news -
• 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...2024Read about Wrigley Field 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 ...2024Read about Kyle Finnegan injuries -
• 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. Here’s the full photo so you can follow along: Photo by Kirn Vintage Stock/Corbis via Getty Images So, what do we ...2024Read about Wrigley Field injuries -
• 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...2023Read about 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...2023Read about David Ross injuries

• 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...2024Read about Wrigley Field

• 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...2024Read about Ron Santo trade rumors -

• 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 trade rumors -

The Shōta Imanaga jersey on the left above is the one he wore at his introductory news conference at the Cubs Convention last month. It was made using last year’s jersey format, one that had been in place for MLB jerseys for quite a number of years.

• Cubs historical sleuthing: 1940s color film editionThe title says “Cubs game,” but there are actually two different games in this video. 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. Here’s that image again: Mike Bojanowski and I went back and forth on this one for quite a bit. Finally,...2024Read about Wrigley Field trade rumors -

• 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...2023Read about Wrigley Field trade rumors

• 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...2024Read about Wrigley Field stats -
• Cubs Wrigley Field game times through history, updatedGetty Images (Time adjusted by Mike Bojanowski) 1:20 is an iconic time for Cubs home day games. But that hasn’t always been the case. 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 stats -
• 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. (Well, “modern” for th...2023Read about Wrigley Field stats -
• 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. By the time you’re done with this article you’ll have not only learned the exact date it was ...2023Read about Wrigley Field stats -

• Cubs 7, White Sox 6: The rain delay resetPhoto by Jamie Sabau/Getty Images The Cubs spotted the Sox a big lead, then came back to win after a thunderstorm interrupted play. The Cubs sometimes rise to the occasion after rain delays. You’re probably familiar with a certain such occurrence in 2016. It happened again Tuesday evening at Wrigley Field. The Cubs spotted the White Sox a 5-0 lead, then a rather intense but brief thundersh...2024Read about 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...2023Read about 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. There are a number...2023Read about Andre Dawson

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...2022Read about Red Sox
