Would have been tough to have suspended that statute in mid air.

They could have filled it with helium and tied a string to it to keep it down.

The next statue should be Gabby Hartnett.  Or 3 Finger Brown.  Or Tinker-Evers-Chance.

Somebody to represent the Cubs when they were winners.

The Cubs really don't do a good job celebrating the history of the 30's and 40's.  Their attitude is that basically the only players worth remembering are the ones from when we became lovable losers.

Except for Harry, all the statues also have a flag on one of the foul poles.

my guess is the early Cub heros get their due once they build and open that Hall of Fame or whatever it will be on the triangle property at Clark & Waveland

By that time we'll be celebrating the latest Cubs world series winners.

And Castro will be retired.

Hopefully with a statue of his own.

Hopefully not in Yankee Stadium.

I think the next statue should be one dedicated to all the fans, like Oldfan, who has had to endure year after year of this feces and have died not seeing a winner.  It's time they got a monument, one the management has to walk past everyday until it sinks in...we've had enough.  And if rebuilding is what it takes, fine, but don't rebuild, while telling me we're in the hunt for the division.  Don't pi$$ on my boots and tell me it's rainin'. --John Wayne

Sometimes the differences between baseball in the past and today smacks you in the face when you are looking for something else.

I just looked at the Cub team stats from 1973.  For the entire year of 1973 the Cubs used 13 pitchers.

I don't mean they had a 13 man pitching staff the entire year, I mean that between opening day and the end of the season only 13 pitchers stood on the mound to throw a single pitch while wearing a Cub uniform, and one of those only made it into 2 games.  There are plenty of teams right now that have 13 pitchers on their active roster during much of the year.  So far this season the Cubs have used 20 different pitchers.
