Every so often it is fun to peruse the Chicago Cubs old rosters of yesteryear, creating a retrospective of players in the process. Many names are forgotten, erased from our memory. Some names however seemingly stick with us throughout history.
The Cubs are currently one of the best teams in baseball and stacked with unbelievable franchise-changing talent. Over the last four seasons, the club has averaged 97 wins, appeared in three NLCS and won a World Series – not too shabby. But, as many fans know all too well, it certainly has not always been this way.
