The Cubs are back in action today against the hated New York Mets.
Meanwhile at Just One Bad Century, we've got some highlights from previous years. Today in Wrigley History goes back to 1975 and 2003. That 2003 entry involves a corked bat. Instead of showing the video of the corked bat affair today, the A/V Club has video of Ken Holtzman's no-hitter from 1971. Today was the day he tossed that gem in Cincinnati. (Don't worry, we'll feature the corked bat tomorrow)
Today's Cubs birthdays include the only Molina to wear a Cubs uniform (Yes, we had one of the catching brothers at one time), plus a cup of coffee from 1902 and 2002. There's nothing like obscurity from the turn of two different centuries.
Today's Historical Event goes back to 1989, and the famous Tienanman Square crackdown in China. Where were the Cubs?
Tonight, they are in Chicago, facing the Mets at 7:05. This homestand will celebrate the 1940s.
