With today's win the Cubs have clinched a .500 record for the season, their sixth in a row, starting in 2015.

The last time they had six .500 seasons in a row was 1967 to 1972.

How many .500 or better seasons from 1947-1966?

TWO.

One was a .500 season (1952). The other was 82-80 (1963).

The CLOSEST Cubs came to first place in those 20 straight years was 13 games behind.

Too bad this board wasn’t around for encouragement back then.
