“It was 20 years ago today...” — The Beatles
I’m not talking about the day “Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play,” as the Beatles were in that eponymous song.
Instead, I would like everyone here to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first post on this site, which happened Feb. 9, 2005.
And rather than talk about the site itself, I want to talk about what’s happened to the Chicago Cubs over that span, and then about you, the BCB reader.
