Or fascinating.
I lean toward fascinating:
There is a nearly unbroken chain of pitchers and catchers from the Cubs first National League game in 1876 all the way to the last week of the 2020 schedule.
.
This incredible chain consists not just of a pitcher and catcher who were ON the team in the same season.
It consists of a pitcher and catcher who were on the field together in the
LAST GAME either the pitcher or catcher played for the Cubs, under their team s various names, through 145 seasons!
