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 Republican Presidential Nominee William H. Taft celebrates a birthday, the first ever passenger on an airplane dies, and the Cubs are afraid they won't come back--they're 4 games out of first place.

This week in 1945, Tokyo Rose is captured, Jimmie Foxx hits his final career home run, and the Cubs are in first place.
