    Cubs owner William Wrigley in the 1920s | Photo by George Rinhart/Corbis via Getty Images Talk about quiet years. Coming off a 1919 season in which they had been competitive until a losing September, the 1920 Cubs started the year with a big clunk. They lost eight of their first 10, then went on a 22-7 run which put them in first place. That run ended with a nine-game winning streak — imme...2025

    Photo Reproduction by Transcendental Graphics/Getty Images One VERY significant player was acquired after the season ended. After the 1918 pennant, the Cubs flailed around for a few years. They had some winning seasons in the early 1920s, but never came closer than 12 games out of first place. The 1926 season represented a major improvement over 1925, and then in ‘27 the Cubs looked like t...2025

    Rogers Hornsby | Getty Images One really significant deal was made. The 1928 Cubs remained in contention most of the year, but couldn’t get over the hump into first place except for a few days after a 13-game winning streak in May. Still, they won 91 games, their most since 1912, and finished only four games out of first. Then they made a key offseason trade that would galvanize them in 19...2025

The Cubs returned to the World Series in 1932, winning the NL pennant by four games. In second place for much of the season early, it took a 22-6 August — which included a 14-game winning streak and a 19-2 run — to secure the title. Unfortunate...2024

The Cubs were coming off a 94-loss season in 1956, and they tried quite a few changes to make a difference in ‘57. It didn’t work, as the Cubs lost 92 in 1957.
