A previous post looked at games in which the Cubs gave up the most runs, all unearned (7, three times), and most unearned runs, period (12, once).
Of course, the Cubs have been the beneficiaries.
From 1876 through last night, the Cubs have hit 14,747 home runs in regular-season games.
That is the third-highest total in big league history, behind only the Yankees (16,681) and Giants.
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.
Sammy Sosa, with 545 home runs, and Ernie Banks, with 512, head the list of 845 different players who hit at least 1 homer for the Cubs in National League regular-season games from 1876 through.
