I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Hey, what about your cup-is-half-full New Years resolution?"
OK, well, how about this? Did you know a Cubs minor leaguer pitched a no-hitter yesterday? Read about it here, but stop reading the article when it gets to the part about the pitcher the Cubs were hoping to draft in the first round a few weeks from now. (Spoiler alert: Reconstructive Arm Surgery). And don't read about Pedro Strop either. I'm sure his groin injury isn't serious.
(Sigh)
Today in Wrigley History we go back to the year I was born (1963), a day that Cubs pitcher Bob Buhl will never forget. Also, there's an Andre Dawson highlight from 1990.
A whole new batch of Historical Events have been posted as well. Today's historical event is the birth of Harry Truman. Where were the Cubs?
It's not a popular day for Cubs players to be born. Only two of them are featured at Today's Cubs Birthdays: The very first National League batting champion, and a player who played exactly one game for the Cubs in 1912.
Today is the anniversary of the Cubs trading Joe Pepitone. Watch him and some of his fellow Cubs from that era in an 8mm home movie at today's A/V Club.
