A few memorable events happened on this day (JUNE 15) in Cubs history.
In 1916, the pitcher who starred for the 1910 World Series Cubs died. His name was King Cole.
In 1942 Cubs pitcher Hi Bithorn finally couldn't take another second of Leo Durocher's taunting from the opposing dugout. So he threw a pitch into the dugout, trying to hit Leo.
In 1951 the Cubs made one of their worst trades ever. They traded stud pitcher Johnny Schmitz and star outfielder/infielder Andy Pafko (probably the most popular Cub) to the Brooklyn Dodgers for for Bruce Edwards, Joe Hatten, Gene Hermanski and Eddie Miksis.
In 1964 they made another trade, acquiring a pitcher named Ernie Broglio. I'm still not emotionally prepared to talk about it.
In 1997, the Cubs played their first inter-league game against the Chicago White Sox. They won the game 8-3.
