When Cody Bellinger signed with the Cubs in December, he became the 10th former Most Valuable Player to join the club and the youngest ever to do so, at age 27.
Only 3 of the previous 9 were.
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.
On Oct. 1, Trayce Thompson became the 2,150th player to hit a home run for the Cubs in a regular-season game during their 146 years in the National League.
Only 295 players have hit as many as 10.
