768 players have hit a home run as a Cub since 1901, first season of the Modern Era.
On average, their first homer came in their 23rd game.
It took position players.
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.
As you may have heard, the Cubs snapped a 10-game losing streak Friday by beating the Braves, 1-0.
That streak was the Cubs' third of double digits in the last calendar year, something they never.
