Chicago Cubs!
The Chicago Cubs are a Major League Baseball team based in
Chicago, Illinois. They are in the Central Division of the National League.
Founded: 1870, as an independent professional club. Joined the National
Association in 1871. Became a charter National League member in 1876.
Formerly known as: White Stockings, in the 1870s. Colts, in the late 1890s.
Orphans, 1898, after the firing of longtime manager Cap Anson. Remnants, in
1901, after a number of players deserted the team for the American League. The
nickname Cubs was coined in 1902 when manager Frank Selee arrived and rebuilt
the club with young, inexperienced players. The Chicago Tribune tried to call
the team the Spuds around this time, but that name didn't stick.
Home ballpark: Wrigley Field, 1060 W. Addison Street, Chicago, IL 60613-4397.
