Chicago Cubs Baseball Facts
- The Chicago Cubs are a professional baseball team based in Chicago, Illinois. They are a member of Major League Baseball (MLB) and compete in the National League Central division.
- The Cubs were established in 1876, making them one of the oldest continuously operating professional baseball teams in the United States.
- The Cubs have won three World Series championships, capturing titles in 1907, 1908, and 2016. The championship in 2016 was particularly significant as it ended the team's 108-year championship drought, which was the longest in professional sports history.
- Wrigley Field, the Cubs' home stadium, is one of the most iconic ballparks in MLB. It has been the team's home since 1916 and is known for its ivy-covered outfield walls and the historic manual scoreboard.
- The Curse of the Billy Goat is a well-known superstition associated with the Cubs. It dates back to 1945 when Billy Goat Tavern owner William Sianis was asked to leave Wrigley Field during a World Series game and allegedly cursed the team, declaring they would never win another World Series. The curse was believed to contribute to the team's championship drought until it was broken in 2016.
- The Cubs have a passionate fan base, often referred to as the "Cubs Nation." Their loyal fans fill Wrigley Field for home games, creating a unique and energetic atmosphere. The fans are known for their love of the team and their tradition of singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the seventh-inning stretch.
- Ernie Banks, known as "Mr. Cub," is one of the most beloved players in Cubs history. He played his entire 19-year career with the Cubs from 1953 to 1971 and was a two-time National League MVP. Banks' positive attitude and love for the game made him an iconic figure for the team and its fans.
- The Cubs' rivalry with the St. Louis Cardinals is one of the oldest and fiercest rivalries in MLB. The rivalry, often referred to as the "Cardinals-Cubs rivalry" or the "Route 66 rivalry," dates back to the early years of the teams and has featured many memorable moments and intense matchups.
- The "Bleacher Bums" are a dedicated group of Cubs fans who occupy the outfield bleacher seats at Wrigley Field. Known for their enthusiasm and colorful personalities, the Bleacher Bums are a vibrant part of the Cubs game-day experience.
- The Cubs' historic 1969 season, often referred to as the "Miracle Cubs," saw the team lead the National League East division for most of the season. However, a late-season collapse allowed the New York Mets to overtake them and ultimately win the division. The season was memorable for both the Cubs' strong start and their heartbreaking finish.
