Even as a little boy before I knew what Major League baseball was I was fascinated by this Norman Rockwell painting, The Dugout. What is ironic about it is at the time the painting was made, 1948, the Cubs were just a couple of years past being a successful and storied franchise, it was the years after this painting was made that the Cubs were a laughingstock organization a majority of the time. I never knew the story behind the painting until I googled it a few minutes ago, Cubs manager Charlie Grimm and Cubs players Bob Rush, Johnny Schmitz, and Rube Walker agreed to pose for the original photo and the batboy was actually a Boston Braves batboy who agreed to put on a Cubs uniform for the shoot.
