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."
There is almost nothing memorable about the 1923 Cubs. They never inhabited first place, not even for a day. After May, the closest they came to first place was six games, and even then, in mid-June, they were just 30-27. They had no real memorable seasons from any of their players, though George Grantham stole 43 bases. No Cub would steal more than that for 57 years, until Ivan De Jesus had 44 in 1980.
