Just One Bad Century--February 26

Today's Cubs Birthdays include one of the five best pitchers to ever play the game, plus a cup of coffee from the 1920s, the son of a Sox player, DeRo, and the wrong Jose Reyes.

The A/V Club shows our birthday boy winning the World Series...for another team.

In today's Cubs News...the Sun-Times profiles Cubs prospect (pitcher) Kyle Hendricks, a nearly forgotten pitching prospect Aroldys Vizcaino is finally getting on the mound today after two years of injuries (and just as an aside on that story--I heard Wellington Castillo interviewed the other day and he said this was the most exciting arm in camp), Cubs catchers talk about the new rule about no collisions at home plate, Pedro Strop could get some save opportunities, and finally, should Travis Wood be the opening day starter this year?
