Today on JOBC--February 19

Today's Cubs birthdays feature a "Rookie Star" from 1970 and a World Series champ (with another team, of course). The A/V Club has one of the all-time play-by-play highlights; the day that Bill Murray filled in for Harry Caray.

In current Cubs news, Javy Baez is working at multiple positions in spring training, Theo talks about Samardzija (and I still have to look up how to spell his name every time), Cub Killer Francisco Liriano will start on Opening Day for Pittsburgh, Jason Hammel doesn't want to be flipped, and our esteemed leader Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts is the 48th most powerful person in Chicago.
