Just One Bad Century--March 5

Today's Cubs birthdays include a world class mustache, Gee-Gee, and Lief. (Celebrating Obscure Wednesday)

The A/V Club has video from a baseball league you probably don't even remember. One of our obscure Cubs birthday boys played in it. Do you recall "The Senior League"?

Our new feature this year, "Historical Events: Where were the Cubs?" has been posted as well. Today you can read about the Cubs connection to John Belushi, Julius Caesar, and Bronco Billy. That's right, we're answering questions you've never asked. You're welcome.

And there has also been lots of Cubs news as well. Mike Olt hit a 2-run homer, the Cubs hired Ted Lilly, Justin Ruggiano had a big day, Bill Buckner has retired as a Cubs minor league coach, and the Milwaukee Brewers have given their team pet dog a Cubs chew toy. (Uncool, Hank, uncool)

I'm getting on an airplane tonight and hope to bring you a few reports from spring training over the next few days.
