Just One Bad Century--May 15

It's a big day in Cubs history. On this day in 1960, Don Cardwell threw a no-hitter against the Cardinals. The full writeup can be found at This Week in Wrigley History. The A/V Club has the video.

Today's historical event is something that happened on the same day. Find out what that was here. (We've posted a whole new week's worth of historical events, by the way)

Today's Cubs birthdays feature a painful one that got away, a World Series hero, and the man who invented the curveball.

As for the current Cubs, at least they didn't lose yesterday. Afternoon game today in St. Louis.
