I decided to go rather retro for this version of Obscure Cubs. I picked 1918, and swam around a bit from there. A few players that season were absurdly obscure. I ended up selecting Buck Herzog, who played in four different World Series, though none with the Cubs. Nonetheless, for a few of you, he's entirely an unknown. I'll start with his time with the Cubs, and flow into the more intriguing items.
In 1919 and 1920, Herzog closed out his MLB career with the Cubs. In 1919, the Cubs were a third place finisher at 75-65.
