    Max Flack | Bettman Archive One of the most famous deals in all of Cubs history was made in this year. The 1922 Cubs hung around first place early, then a bad June put them 11 games out. They then went 38-20 in July and August and at one point in August had climbed to within 3½ games of first place at 64-49, following a seven-game winning streak. But a 16-25 finish put them in third place....2025

    Have Suitcase, will travel I don’t think there’s much debate that baseball players today are better than they were 50 or 100 years ago. For one thing, MLB is now integrated.

    Getty Images Another quiet year for Cubs deals. The biggest Cubs news of 1953, though they didn’t know it at the time, was the MLB debut of a skinny, 22-year-old shortstop named Ernie Banks on Sept. 19. Banks would go 0-for-4 in that debut game, which the Cubs lost 16-4. Eventually he’d homer a couple of times that September, beginning a Hall of Fame career. That didn’t help the team, whic...2024
