Al Yellon created Bleed Cubbie Blue and has been its managing editor since 2005. He's also written three books about the Cubs, the latest is "Chicago Cubs Firsts."
The 1921 Cubs won their first three games and six of their first eight, then promptly went into a dive that had them finishing seventh, 30 games behind the pennant-winning Giants. Only a rained-out game against Brooklyn that was not made up possibly prevented the 64-89 Cubs from their first-ever 90-loss season, something that wouldn’t happen until 1948,
They wouldn’t finish 30 games out of first place again for 20 years, not until 1941.
