On this day in 1984, the Cubs traded away their top prospect, Joe Carter, along with a few others (like Mel Hall) for Rick Suttcliffe.I'll never begrudge the Cubs that trade because it brought them their first division title in 39 years and within a few outs of the 1984 World Series.
On the other hand, don't you ever wonder what it would have looked like to see this guy in the same outfield with Andrew Dawson (who arrived in Chicago just a few years later)?
