Have you ever wondered what the average batting numbers were among all Cubs during their years with team?
Maybe not.
OK, probably not!
But I have. So I decided to figure it out.
Read on to find.
When a baseball fan hears the term "cycle," he thinks first of a batter who makes at least 1 of each kind of hit single, double, triple and home run in the same.
It has been done 339 times.
Before this season is over, somebody likely will become the 1,500th player in the Modern Era to make a hit as a member of the Cubs.
From the start of 1901 through the end of 2021, the count stood.
David Bote's ninth-inning, base-loaded home run that beat the Nationals, 4-3, on Aug. 12, 2018, is unique among Cubs homers.
In fact, there has been only 1 other such "Ultimate Slam" in the entire.
