Just One Bad Century--April 7

The Cubs lost 2 out of 3 to the Phillies this weekend, but all everyone is talking about is this video: Billy the Cub punching a guy in the face who takes the head off his uniform. Oh, Billy, will you never learn that you live in the age of phone cameras?

JOBC has a whole slew of stuff for your pleasure today.

Today in Wrigley History goes back 20 years to Michael Jordan's only appearance at Wrigley (there's a photo), and features 1977, 1987, and 1988. The A/V Club also has a great interview--Harry Caray interviewing Michael Jordan on the field before the game.

Today's Historical Event is John Wayne winning his only Academy Award for "True Grit". Where were the Cubs?

This Week in 1945 was posted over the weekend and features a video of the Allied air invasion of Germany, a recap of the Cubs only spring training road trip (to Louisville), and much more.

Today's Cubs Birthdays include two pitchers who threw no-hitters. One did so after leaving the Cubs, and the other did so before coming to the Cubs.
