At JOBC, we go back to that day to see what the Cubs were doing, and we offer a video of the Cubs contribution to the healing process.
Also, there are eight Cubs related 9/11 birthdays: A rookie phenom who flamed out, the man who got us Rizzo, a catcher/coach, the pitcher who gave up Hank's last hit, a catcher who was born during Abraham Lincoln's re-election campaign, a centerfielder who was drafted into the military just as he was getting good, a guy from the 70s that I don't remember at all (and I was a super-Cubs-geek in the 70s), and a standup comic/Cubs fan. That comic is featured in the A/V Club too.
Today in Wrigley history goes back to 1987, 1989, and 1995.
Notice I haven't mentioned the Cubs performance in Toronto. Sheesh.
I'm happy they have the day off today.
