I'll admit I haven't been watching many Cubs games this season, but I did check out a few moments of the Cubs-Cardinals series. Those are always worth a quick perusal.
On this day in history, the Cubs actually contributed mightily to the very first Cardinals World Series championship. It's true. They traded them a pitcher who had showed up drunk 60% of the time over the previous two weeks.
That pitcher was instrumental in the World Series for the Cardinals later that year. The story and the video is here at Cubs 365.
