Intentional walks have been part of baseball almost as long as there has been baseball.
Cubs batters have been walked intentionally 4,657 times since the start of 1915, first season for which.
Previous posts documented the Cubs' wins and losses in games that ended with:
1. A strikeout/throwout doubleplay
2. A runner attempting a straight steal
3. A pickoff
Today's topic: wins that.
The Cubs have played 112 games this year, meaning they have exactly 50 left to play.
They have just 1 walk-off win, on Christopher Morel's 10th-inning sacrifice fly that beat the Brewers, 4-3, on.
From Fred Pfeffer's 3-run blast against Detroit in 1884, through Gabby Hartnett's solo "Homer in the Gloamin' " against the Pirates in 1938, to Jason Heyward's drive with 2 aboard against the Reds.
A previous post looked at Cubs starters who relieved exactly once and described those one-of-a-kind appearances by the 6 who started at least 50 times, led by Kyle Hendricks, with 222 starts.
