This week in 1908, 1945


Every weekend JOBC goes back in time to the last year the Cubs won the World Series (1908) and the NL Pennant (1945).

This week in 1908, the most notorious game in Chicago Cubs history (that turned out well for the Cubs).

This week in 1945, Shirley Temple gets married, Danny Thomas opens the season at the Chez Paree, and Cubs outfielder Bill Nicholson sets a record.
