Cubs milestone wins on road By JohnW53 on Jan 9, 2021, 3:43am CST +
11,000 games in the National League.
They ended the season with
11,016.
4,971 on the road.
So, the Cubs need
29 more wins to reach
5,000 on the road. They have won at least 30 road games in every full season but one beginning in 2001, and from 2015-19 they averaged 43.
They were 15-12 on the road in the shortened 2020 season.
.
Two Major League teams already have won 5,000 times on the road: the Giants (5,105) and Dodgers (5,026).
The Cardinals (4,989) also have more road wins than the Cubs.
The Cubs first win ever in the National League came on the road, a 4-0 triumph at Louisville in their NL debut on Tuesday, April 25, 1876.
145-year chain of Cubs pitchers and catchers By JohnW53 on Dec 21, 2020, 5:59am CST +
Or fascinating.
I lean toward fascinating:
There is a nearly unbroken chain of pitchers and catchers from the Cubs first National League game in 1876 all the way to the last week of the 2020 schedule.
.
This incredible chain consists not just of a pitcher and catcher who were ON the team in the same season.
It consists of a pitcher and catcher who were on the field together in the
LAST GAME either the pitcher or catcher played for the Cubs, under their team s various names, through 145 seasons!
