If you did, and thought it was silly, you likely will find this just as silly.
If you did, and thought it was fascinating, you may find this equally fascinating:
It is possible to make a similar chain of 61 alternating shortstops and second baseman that span all 145 seasons of the Cubs National League history.
.
As with the pitchers and catchers, this chain of double play partners consists not just of a shortstop and second baseman who were ON the team in the same season.
It consists of a shortstop and second baseman who were on the field TOGETHER in the LAST game either the shortstop or second baseman played for the Cubs, under their team s various names, through all 145 seasons! ....

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.

They wrapped up the National League Central Division in 2017 on Wednesday, with 4 days to go.
In 2007, they did it on Friday, with 2 days to go.
The Cubs celebrated pennants in 1938 and 1945, and division titles, in 2003 and 2020, on Saturdays, with 1 day left in 1938, by winning Game 2 of a doubleheader; in 1945 and 2003, by sweeping twin bills.
They won the 1908 NL crown with a 4-2 victory at New York on the season s final day, Thursday, Oct. 8, in the reply of the famous Merkle s Boner game at the Polo Grounds on Sept. 23. ....

....
As noted in the previous post, of all the home runs hit by batters for the future Cubs from 1876-1900, an actual distance is cited in the Chicago Tribune for only 1: a blast by Fred Pfeffer at Detroit on Sept. 5, 1887:
The ball hit a fence nearly 600 feet from the plate, and hadn t begun to come home when Fritz crossed the plate.
.
In lieu of distances in feet, extraordinary home runs often were described in terms of where they landed.
[Mark] Baldwin s hit in the third was a long one, the Tribune said of a game against Boston on May 16, 1888. It went to within a few feet of the engine-house before it touched the ground. At that [right fielder Tom] Brown s speed and throwing ability enabled him to get the ball and send it back so as to give Baldy trouble in making third. Had [shortstop Sam] Wise handled the throw cleanly there would have been ....

This one is for
ernaga, loyal BCB reader and fellow lover of Cubs history, who posted this comment in response to my 2-part post about the Cubs bounced home runs:
In your extensive pre-1900 research, have you found contemporaneous accounts that draw frequent reference to home runs of exceptional distance as often as they apparently do to these bounce-ins?
....
The longest home run likely hit by any Cub in the 19th Century reportedly traveled a long, long way.
No, not the homer hit by Jimmy Ryan, at Boston, on July 11, 1899, that was described as clearing the left field fence, sailing into the window of a passing train and winding up in New York, a distance of 217 miles, or 1,145,760 feet. ....
