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.
A previous post looked at some of the longest batting streaks by Cubs other than hits and home runs, including Hank Sauer scoring runs in 15 games in a row, Stan Hack making singles in 22 straight.
