Just One Bad Century--June 2

The Cubs are off today after losing their 14th consecutive road series over the weekend.

Over the weekend we also posted a few gems on JOBC in case you missed it. This Week in 1945 features Nazi loot, the second tallest building in Chicago (in 1945), Marilyn Monroe before she was Marilyn, and a real life Stooge. This Week in 1908 is about white slavery and a Cub who only got one at-bat during a championship year.

Today's Cubs birthdays include a 24-game winner, the poster child of the Dusty Baker era, and cups of coffee from the 60s and 90s.

Tdoay in Wrigley History goes back to 1956, and the A/V Club is a great video about the 1970 Cubs.

And finally, today's Historical Event is President Grover Cleveland getting married in the White House. Where were the Cubs?
