The Cubs have had a lot of bad days in their history. But dear reader, 40 years ago today they topped 'em all.
I've written here many times here about how the Pirates dominated the Cubs in the 1970s. From 1970 through 1980, a period when the Cubs were sort-of contenders but the Pirates dominated the National League by winning the N.L. East six times and also taking two World Series during that span.
The Cubs went 74-121 against the Pirates for those 11 seasons, by far their worst record (.
