When last we checked in our 1969 Cubs, they lost two games to start the week in New York, including a very tough one that featured some subpar outfield play leading to a Mets walk-off. But, the Cubs did rebound to win four of the last five games to close out the week. Despite the two losses to the closest rival, the National League East lead ended at five. At 57-34, the team still stood 23 games over .500 and in very good shape.
In this edition of Historical Heroes and Goats, we move on to week 15 of the season.
