Just One Bad Century--June 13

We've got kind of a light day at Just One Bad Century today.

There are only two Cubs born on this day, and neither is really a Cub of note. One was nicknamed "Lefty", and the other is on the current roster.

Today in Wrigley history goes back to 1942 and 1980.

Today's Historical Event is the creation of Miranda Rights. Where were the Cubs?

And the A/V Club is Babe Ruth's farewell address to Yankee Stadium.

So today is a bit light, but this weekend will be jam-packed. Tomorrow's the anniversary of the Eddie Waitkus shooting, and Sunday is the anniversary of the Lou Brock trade. Plus there were tons of Cubs greats born this weekend, including one of my all-time favorites, Billy Williams. We'll also post a new This Week in 1908 and This Week in 1945.

It's worth a visit.

Have a great Father's Day weekend!
