The Lusitania is also in the news, and the Cubs are in Brooklyn and Philadelphia.
Today in Wrigley History goes back to 1942. It was also a big day for Fergie Jenkins on this day in 1983, so we featured Fergie in the A/V Club.
Today's Historical Event is the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous. Where were the Cubs?
