Default Go Cubs Go........show me your 1908 cubs cards

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

Hey there, Ted,

Welcome back.

I think your images lack a Kroh and a Zimmerman. Sugar's book lists 36 Cubs, and he does not include that McIntyre, probably because Brooklyn is first in the caption, and because he's in a Brooklyn uniform.

Ken, I think some folks think that Wrigley Field dates back to when the Cubs won a World Series... hardly anything on the planet is that old. And few folks realize that Wrigley Field is a surviving bit of the Federal League. So I was attempting to clear that up. I left the use of "illuding" alone, figuring that you intended "alluding", but maybe not.
