Just One Bad Century--June 11
At JOBC we posted a whole new week's worth of "The Week in Wrigley History". Today's entry goes back to 1952 and Hank Sauer's best day as a pro. We've even got the audio.
There are some really interesting Cubs celebrating birthdays today, including the Cub who quit on the day Warren Harding died, the Duke of Tralee, and Deek. Plus, did you that Jimmy Stewart and Frank Thomas were both on the Cubs? It's true. Check it out here. Jimmy Stewart is also featured in the A/V Club.
Today's Historical Event is a tragedy at Lemans in 1955. Where were the Cubs?
If they don't get rained out, tonight they'll be in Pittsburgh.
