Phil Cavaretta was one of the all-time great Cubs. He played for them in the 30s, 40, and early 50s. That's why this story is so hard to read.
Let's just say, his stay with the Cubs didn't end well. It ended on this day in 1954.
Jimmy Archer was a Cubs catcher a hundred years ago. I like to call him the Bionic Cub.
Why? The full story is here.
Jimmy passed away on this day in 1958.
