    November 4, 2016 ESPNChicago.com From 1908 until now: Cubs' run of heartache finally ends By Bradford Doolittle We want to say this all began in 1945 because a colorful tavern owner tried to drag a smelly goat named Murphy with him to a World Series game. We then employ what Joe Maddon likes to call "outcome bias" as proof of this alleged curse, bringing up such hobgoblins as the black cat in 1969, Leon Durham's glove in 1984 and Steve Bartman's eager hands in 2003. In reality, this began long before any of that. It started with a poor soul named Fred Merkle, in the year 1908 -- the last time the Chicago Cubs won a World Series. On Wednesday night, the 2016 Cubs put an end date on that cursed year by winning the franchise's first World Series in 108 years, beating the Cleveland Indians in extra innings in Game 7, 8-7. The reasons the Cubs didn't win it all for so long aren't easy to distill in a work less than book length. There are a few wide-umbrella factors that one can easily point to. With the 2016 World Series over after a stunning comeback from Chicago's North Siders, there's a good reason to revisit those factors. A very good reason in fact: They no longer exist. HOW IT STARTED There is an old book called "Baseball's Amazing Teams" by a writer named Dave Wolf. The book chronicles the most interesting team from each decade of the 20th century.

  • Countdown to 500 Most Joyous Part of Mr
    Photo credit Leo Bauby. Countdown to 500 most joyous part of Mr. Cub’s career By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Saturday, January 24, 2015 Pure joy. All the retrospectives putout immediately after Ernie Banks’ death at 83 on January 23 focus on Mr. Cub’s unbridled enthusiasm for life, mostly in the 43 years after he played his final game. What about the joy fans in Chicago and beyond took in Banks the ballplayer? Scores of Cubs rooters and others simply picked up Banks’ love of life by osmosis and ended up exulting in eve- ry career move – especially his pursuit of his 500th homer. You’d have to be a Baby Boomer at the least to remember the hoopla and countdown to Banks reaching the vaunted measurement of career power prowess. Five-hundred homers was a spec- tacular sports achievement in the mid-20th century. Only a couple of handfuls of big leaguers had reached the 500 mark by 1970: Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Henry Aaron, Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Mel Ott, Jimmie Foxx and Eddie Mathews. Gifted sluggers like Lou Gehrig, Stan Musial, Hank Greenberg, Ralph Kiner and Duke Snider never got to 500. It was not easy to hit a home run, and statistics were not watered down by a slew of outside factors. www.ChicagoBaseballMuseum.org [email protected] Ten years into his Hall of Fame career that began late in 1953, Banks was regarded as the Cubs’ best-ever and acquired his Mr. Cub title. He was the most beloved Cub even though by the mid- 1960s he typically ranked No.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Cubs of '69 Recollections of the Team That Should Have Been by Rick Talley `INCIDENT` DOESN`T HAUNT FORMER CUB
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Cubs of '69 Recollections of the Team That Should Have Been by Rick Talley `INCIDENT` DOESN`T HAUNT FORMER CUB. There is always another side to the story. For almost 20 years, I was convinced, along with many others, that Don Young had gone into hiding, his life irretrievably broken after he had misplayed two fly balls during the Cubs` fateful 1969 season. Also, that Young was still angry with Ron Santo, who had criticized him for lackadaiscal play. I was wrong on both counts. I saw Young at a reunion Saturday of the `69 Cubs. He looked fine to me, sartorially elegant, trim, as healthy and spirited as any of his former teammates. And he has no grudge against Santo. Just the opposite. He insisted he has always been grateful to Santo, whom, he said, was constantly helping him, especially in spring training when the Cubs brought him up from the low minors. ''If it wasn`t for Santo, I might not have made the club,'' Young recalled. ''He was always telling me about the different pitchers, what to expect. He was very supportive.'' A fierce competitor, Santo was the captain of the `69 Cubs and wasn`t always able to control his emotions. It was never much of a problem except on July 8, after a day game against the Mets at Shea Stadium. The Cubs, with Ferguson Jenkins pitching, led 3-1 going into the ninth. Young misjudged Ken Boswell`s fly ball. Instead of coming in, he broke back and was unable to recover.
