  • The Cubs Win the World Series!
    Can’t-miss listening is Pat Hughes’ ‘The Cubs Win the World Series!’ CD By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Monday, January 2, 2017 What better way for Pat Hughes to honor his own achievement by reminding listeners on his new CD he’s the first Cubs broadcaster to say the memorable words, “The Cubs win the World Series.” Hughes’ broadcast on 670-The Score was the only Chi- cago version, radio or TV, of the hyper-historic early hours of Nov. 3, 2016 in Cleveland. Radio was still in the Marconi experimental stage in 1908, the last time the Cubs won the World Series. Baseball was not broadcast on radio until 1921. The five World Series the Cubs played in the radio era – 1929, 1932, 1935, 1938 and 1945 – would not have had classic announc- ers like Bob Elson claiming a Cubs victory. Given the unbroken drumbeat of championship fail- ure, there never has been a season tribute record or CD for Cubs radio calls. The “Great Moments in Cubs Pat Hughes was a one-man gang in History” record was produced in the off-season of producing and starring in “The Cubs 1970-71 by Jack Brickhouse and sidekick Jack Rosen- Win the World Series!” CD. berg. But without a World Series title, the commemo- ration featured highlights of the near-miss 1969-70 seasons, tapped the WGN archives for older calls and backtracked to re-creations of plays as far back as the 1930s.

  • Goats, Ghosts, and Records!
    Goats, Ghosts, and Records! The news has been filled with references of goats, ghosts, and records for the last two weeks or so. Those news articles did not have to do with any agricultural report or coverage of events around Halloween, but with the two teams involved in the World Series. Most of those accounts were given in reference to the history of the Chicago Cubs. How many times since the post-season began have we heard the number, “108” or the year, 1945 and 1948? At the end of game 4 of this year’s World Series, the echo of the goat’s hooves could seemingly be heard on the pavement of Addison Street in Chicago as the Cubs fell back to the verge of elimination! The ghosts of Wrigley seemed to be circling around the north side of the city again! However, this year, history is not repeating itself of the same old story of a disappointing end of the season, but is beginning to take on a different tone as the Cubs have finally become major league baseball’s champions! That which some thought was impossible, whether for this year or for any year, has now become the sensational news of reality! The emotional impact upon Cub fans has also been huge! The excitement throughout Wrigleyville could be heard all the way to Lake Michigan . and around the world as Cub fans watched the television broadcast or listened to Pat Hughes on the radio! Young fans that are the same age as those “20-something” stars of the game just immersed themselves in the excitement of the home-team winning the major league championship.

  • Shift from WGN Recalls Old Comfort Zone for Fans, Station, Cubs
    Shift from WGN recalls old comfort zone for fans, station, Cubs By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Monday, June 9th, 2014 Wowww! Let’s go, batter up, we’re taking the afternoon off….It’s a beautiful day for a ballgame, for a ballgame today. The fans are out to get a ticket or two, from Walla Walla, Washington to Kalamazoo… Everything changes – even the most comfy things that fit to a tee. Familiarity and memories of childhood soundtracks of summer is why we’re all wrung out with the news the Cubs’ radio rights have shift- ed to WBBM-Radio from their 57-season home 60 kc down the dial at WGN. The news wasn’t unexpected. WGN re- opened its Cubs contract – not the other way around – before this season because it was losing its financial shirt, unable to re- coup enough ad revenue to cover produc- tion costs when the baseball ratings had gone in the dumper. A move like this be- came inevitable – just the timing was in question – after Tribune Co. sold the Cubs to the cash-hungry Ricketts family, which is saddled with a heavy debt service man- dated by corporate shark Sam Zell as the structure of the sale. Lou Boudreau (top) and Jack Quinlan in WGN- As long as Tribune Co. -- which acquired Radio's first season with the Cubs radio rights in the embryonic WGN in 1924 -- had um- 1958. brella ownership of the Cubs and WGN TV -radio properties, change was going to be far off in the future. But all bets were off once the team and broadcasters diverged under www.ChicagoBaseballMuseum.org [email protected] separate corporate entities.
