Cubs trade Chuck Klein
He's a Hall of Famer, but mostly because of his years with the Philadelphia Phillies. He had a couple of decent years with the Cubs, but Chuck Klein never approached the numbers he had in Philadelphia.
On this day in 1936, the Cubs traded him back to the Phillies. He hit a home run in his first game back.
