A Cubs-centric look at baseball’s past. Here’s a handy Cubs timeline.
Today in baseball history:
- 1903 - Pitcher Jack Doscher, making his debut with the Chicago Cubs, is the first son of a former major-league player to also play in the major leagues. His father, Herm, was a third baseman with Troy, Chicago, and Cleveland before the turn of the century. (2)
Unfortunately, Jack wasn’t very good. Herm wasn’t either. But they both played some, and that’s something.
