The Chicago Cubs and the day that they hit ‘rock bottom’

For a Chicago Cubs franchise that went 108 years without winning a World Series title, pinpointing “rock bottom” is tough. There is one particular day that could make a case for it.

July 16th, 2006. The Chicago Cubs hosted the New York Mets at Wrigley Field on Sunday Night Baseball. A national cable audience got to see the eventual National League pennant-winning Mets take on a Cubs team that was spiraling out of control. This day lives in Cubs infamy and might be rock bottom for Cubs fandom.
