The Chicago Cubs is a baseball team based in Chicago. The Cubs’ history dates back to 1870’s; the team joined the league in 1876. Some of the first Cubs’ baseball legendary infielders were: Joe Tinker (shortstop), Johnny Evers and Frank Chance during the time from 1903 to 1912.
The Cubs has been a very successful team as they have won several Pennants titles, Division titles besides their two World Series titles in consecutive years in 1907 and 1908. Unfortunately; there has past almost a century since the team won their last World Series.
In 2003 after a dry spell of 14 years the Cubs won their first division title. More recently the Cubs signed Alfonso Soriano; one of the most expensive contracts in baseball history.
Additionally; skipper Dusty Baker was replaced with Lou Piniella. The three pitchers Bob Howry, Carlos Marmol and Kerry Wood will be competing for the closer role. |
The 2008 season will be the 136th season for the team which is presently run by Lou Piniella and manager Jim Hendry.
