The Schulte Poems: May 10, 1910 By JohnW53 on May 10, 2021, 5:17am CDT +
During the 1910 season, the Chicago Tribune regularly published funny, sometimes hilarious, poems that it said were written by Frank Schulte, the Cubs colorful, hard-hitting, lefty-swinging right fielder.
The poems actually were written by Ring Lardner, destined to become one of the great humorists of the early 20th Century, who was assigned by the paper to cover the Cubs that season.
