Cubs 365, November 6

On this day in 1898, future Cub Chick Tolson was born. He was a backup first baseman and pinch hitter for the Cubs in the late 1920s. His real name was Charles, and in the 20s, Chick was an appropriate nickname for Charles, but he was also known as "Slug" for his less than speedy wheels.

Slug played four seasons for the Cubs, and had his best season in 1929, when the Cubs won the pennant. He had a career high 109 at bats that season, and even got one at bat in the 1929 World Series. He struck out.

In 1930, however, he did something that must have caused his teammates to hoot and howl. Slug stole the only base of his career.
