All or most, Chicago Cubs fans know the clammy distaste a World Series drought can leave in one’s mouth. For the Cubs, in particular, that distaste became especially bad, if not worse than what other fan bases have experienced. At the beginning of the 1900s, though, the Cubs were one of the best teams in baseball, if not the absolute best.
The club fielded guys like Frank Chance, Joe Tinker and Mordecai Brown. Chance served as a player/manager, leading the club to a solid campaign. Interestingly, the 1906 squad is one of the most impressive starting lineups to ever grace a baseball diamond.
