2. Who was the "creator" of the Chicago Cubs?

Answer: Albert Spalding

The Chicago Cubs were originally called the Chicago White Stockings, when they first were introduced to the public. They then were known as the Orphans, the Black Stockings, the Colts, the Rainmakers, the Cowboys, and then finally the Chicago Cus in 1902.

3. Was Greg Maddux ever on the Cubs?

Answer: True

Believe it! He was on the Cubs in 1986-1992. In 1992, he even had 20 wins.

4. Was Bobby Bonds ever on the Cubs?

Answer: True

Bobby Bonds, the father of superstar Barry Bonds, actually was on the Chicago Cubs. He ended his 14-year major league career in Chicago in 1981, hitting .215 in 45 games with the Cubs.

5. How many career homeruns does Ernie Banks have?

Answer: 512

He hit 47 homeruns in 1958, the most in his career.

6. What team did Ryne Sandberg play with before he was on the Cubs?

Answer: Philadelphia Phillies

He was drafted by the Phillies in 1981. He played lucky number 13 games with them. I guess the Cubs were the lucky ones to get him on their team for 15 years.

7. What year was the first year that Chicago Cubs went to the World Series?

Answer: 1906

The Cubs were beat by cross-town rival White Sox 4 games to 2. The Cubs had the infamous Tinker to Evers to Chance combination.

8. What year was the first year that Chicago Cubs won the World Series?

Answer: 1907

The Cubs' ERA was 0.75. It was the lowest in the World Series until 1950, when the Yankees swept the Phillies and posted a 0.73 ERA. They beat the Tigers 4 games to 1, with 1 tie.

9. Where did the Chicago Cubs play in 2002?

Answer: Wrigley Field

The Cubs played at Wrigley Field of course. If you picked Comisky Park, you mut have been thinking of the Chicago White Sox.

Answer: Yes

La Russa appeared in one game as a Cub, as a pinch runner in 1973. He later scored the run.
