Cubs Quiz.

Who is the all-time Cubs leader in career stolen bases? (as a Cub, so not Lou Brock).

Clue#1: until passed by Anthony Rizzo in 2019, he was also Cubs all-time leader in HBPs.

Clue#2: he ended his MLB career playing with the Yankees.

Clue#3: played catcher for the Cubs for 1375 career innings.

Yeah and you especially don't think of Tinker or Evers throwing in his direction if he was catching.

Wow that is a cool shot!  Even cooler to get to see CurtOne and DaveP sitting on top of that outfield wall.

Davep wouldn't sit on the wall.  Something about his cousin Humpty.

Photo was taken in one of the doubleheader games that day in which Cubs swept Phillies to go 59-30 on the season. CG wins by Charlie Root and Pat Malone.

Cubs won the pennant at 98-54 but lost WS in 5 to the A’s. Game 4 was the famous game in which Cubs were on verge of evening Series 2-2 but blew an 8-run lead in the 7th inning. Curt and Dave P were upset about that all day (Check out their posts from that day in the Archives).

That was also the season in which Hartnett mysteriously was unable to throw at all and could only pinch hit the entire season and WS.

This club had Grimm, Hornsby, English in the infield, with Hack Wilson in CF and Riggs Stephenson, among others.

That was a really perfect storm of Maddux being at his best, the Cubs having a truly putrid crappy lineup, and Eric Gregg as the home plate umpire.  Pitchers pray for days like that.
