    DID YOU KNOW . . .
  • That the Cubs have never won a world championship while playing at Wrigley Field? The only Cub teams    
        to win it all played at the old West Side Grounds in the early 20th Century.

  • In the first 7 years of the 21st Century, 5 World Champion teams played on hometown fields that had been
        built or re-built by Roger Bossert: Arizona (2001), Boston (2004, 2007), White Sox (2005), and St. Louis (2006)
