Chicago Cubs History

Initially I wanted this episode to come out during spring training this year, but now that the Cubs have clinched a playoff spot, this is a much better time to discuss Al Yellon’s new book “Chicago Cubs Firsts”.  We discuss the great players like Ernie Banks and Ryne Sandberg, as well as broadcasters Harry Caray and Vin Scully.  We also explore early baseball rules, how the Cubs got their name, and the infamous “College of Coaches”.
