Yesterday, I completed a series on the 10 worst losses in Cubs history. Those were interesting to read about, though a bit depressing. All of those losses were by 17 or more runs.
Today, I’m beginning a companion series that should be much more entertaining. Since 1904 (the baseball-reference era), the Cubs have won 11 games by 17 or more runs. That’s already a win — one more win by that margin than there were losses. Like the other series, this one will sequence in order by run differential — the biggest one will come last.
