The 2014 Cubs season marks the 100th anniversary of Wrigley Fields

inaugural campaign in 1914, when it was known as Weeghman Park


and hosted the Federal Leagues Chicago Federals ... this marks the
99th season the Cubs have called Wrigley Field home ... Wrigley Field
is the second-oldest ballpark in the major leagues, behind Bostons
Fenway Park (1912).
The Friendly Confines has been the location of such historic moments
as:
w Babe Ruths called shot, when Ruth allegedly pointed to a
bleacher location during Game 3 of the 1932 World Series
Ruth then hit Charlie Roots next pitch for a homer.
w Gabby Hartnetts famous Homer in the Gloamin September
28, 1938, off Pittsburghs Mace Brown.
w The great May 2, 1917, pitching duel between Jim Hippo
Vaughn and the Reds Fred Toney both Vaughn and Toney
threw no-hitters for 9.0 innings before Cincinnatis Jim Thorpe
(of Olympic fame) drove in the only run in the 10th inning
Toney finished with a no-hitter.
w Ernie Banks 500th career home run May 12, 1970, vs. Atlantas
Pat Jarvis.

Originally known as Weeghman Park, Wrigley Field was built on the
grounds once occupied by a seminary.
Weeghman Park was the home of Chicagos entry into the Federal
League and was the property of Charles H. Weeghman the club was
known as both the Federals and the Whales.
The cost of building Weeghman Park, which had a seating capacity of
14,000, was estimated at $250,000 the infield and outfield consisted of more than 4,000 yards of soil and four acres of bluegrass.
The first major league game at the ballpark took place April 23, 1914,
with the Federals defeating Kansas City 9-1 the first homer in ballpark history was hit by Federals catcher Art Wilson a two-run shot in
the second inning off Kansas Citys Chief Johnson.
When the Federal League folded for financial reasons after the 1915
campaign, Weeghman purchased the Cubs from the Taft family of
Cincinnati and moved the club to the two-year-old ballpark at the
corners of Clark and Addison streets.
The first National League game at the ballpark was played April 20,
1916, when the Cubs beat the Cincinnati Reds 7-6 in 11 innings a
bear cub was in attendance at the game.
The park became known as Cubs Park in 1919, following the resignation of Charles Weeghman as team president at the December 1918
board of Directors meeting - shortly after William Wrigley Jr. had assumed the title as largest stockholder in the club ... in 1926, with Mr.
Wrigley owning more than 50 percent of the team stock and having
purchased the land of the park in 1924, the field was renamed Wrigley
Field.

The original vines were purchased and planted by Bill Veeck in September
1937 Veeck strung bittersweet from the top of the wall to the bottom,
then planted the ivy at the base of the wall.
Ernie Banks uniform number (14) is imprinted on the flag which flies
from atop the left field foul pole, directly above Ron Santos No. 10 and
Fergie Jenkins No. 31 Ryne Sandbergs No. 23, Billy Williams No. 26
and Greg Maddux No. 31 fly from the right field foul pole.
The Wrigley Field bleachers and scoreboard were constructed in 1937
when the outfield area was renovated to provide improved and expanded
seating the original scoreboard remains intact.
The score-by-innings and the pitchers numbers are changed by hand
the numbers signaling batter, ball, strike and out, along with H and
E to signify hit and error are eyelets.
No batted ball has ever hit the center field scoreboard two baseballs
barely missed a homer hit onto Sheffield Avenue (right-center) by Bill
Nicholson in 1948, and one hit by Roberto Clemente onto Waveland
Avenue (left-center) in 1959.
One of the traditions of Wrigley Field is the flying of a flag bearing a W
or an L atop the scoreboard after a game a white flag with a blue
W indicates a victory; a blue flag with a white L denotes a loss.
Wrigley Field added lights in 1988.
The first night game took place August 8 against Philadelphia, with Rick
Sutcliffe on the mound, but was rained out in the fourth inning.
The first official night game occurred August 9 vs. New York, when the
Cubs defeated the Mets 6-4.
In 2014, Wrigley Field will celebrate its 27th year of night baseball.
w The Cubs entered the 2014 season having played 538 home
night contests (going 266-272).
Wrigley Field has been the site of numerous construction projects since
2005.
Following the 2005 season, the Cubs expanded the bleachers, adding a
restaurant in the batters eye and a window to Sheffield Avenue in right
field.
In the winter of 2007, Wrigley underwent a major field renovation
project to remove the fields crown, install an intricate drainage system
and create a new playing surface.
The beautification of the Wrigley Field campus also included the installation of personalized pavers beginning near the corner of Sheffield and
Addison, running down Addison Street towards Clark Street and the
Wrigley Field marquee.
Prior to the 2010 season, the back of the centerfield scoreboard was
fully renovated for the first time since it was installed in 1937 ... restrooms were remodeled and fitted with new fixtures, a new viewing plaza
was created adjacent to the indoor batting cage to provide fans the
opportunity to watch batting practice and the PNC Club was added to
the mezzanine suites down the left field line.
Prior to the 2012 campaign, the right field bleachers were transformed to the Budweiser Patio ... the area provides fans with a rooftop
experience inside the ballpark, and adds a 75-foot LED board just
above the right field fence.

10/1/1932 Babe Ruths called shot took

Cubs Charities Signature Programs


In 2013, Cubs Charities launched signature programs to address the
needs of Chicagos youth and to reflect our commitment to baseball,
health, fitness and education in communities throughout Chicago.

Cubs Scholars
The Cubs Scholars Program launched in 2013 with an inaugural class
of five scholars. The program aims to offer quality scholarship and financial contributions for Chicago inner-city high school students, coupled with a program designed to promote academic achievement and
encourage post-secondary educational advancement.
The Cubs Scholars Program rewards both individual students and the
non-profit organizations which support their development. It provides
college scholarships to high achievers and grants to the nonprofit programs which nominate and support them.

Cubs on the Move Fitness Trolley


The Cubs and Cubs Charities are committed to improving the health
of Chicagos inner city children. To help address the increasing obesity
problem and to promote fitness overall, Cubs Charities developed the
Cubs on the Move Fitness Trolley to promote a fitness plan and healthy
eating campaign, and encourage kids to Play Every Day. The mission
of the Cubs on the Move Fitness Trolley is to get kids active and healthy.
In 2013, more than 300 children from four schools across the city of
Chicago participated in the Cubs on the Move Fitness Trolley, which
motivates youth to Play Every Day. The students participated in group
exercise led by Chicago Athletic Clubs and learned basic baseball skills
through Cubs non-profit partner, Urban Initiatives at four select elementary schools: Tarkington School in Marquette Park, Gunsaulus School in
Brighton Park, Otis Elementary in West Town and Lloyd School in Cragin
using the Cubs Trolley for transportation, music and activation. Cubs on
the Move Fitness Trolley participants received water from Aquafina and
a nutritious snack every visit supplied by Testa Produce.
The Cubs on the Move Fitness Trolley brought together Cubs Associates,
Cubs corporate partners, Cubs philanthropic partners, Cubs ownership
and Cubs players to impact the health of kids in the Chicago community.
Kids who followed the Cubs on the Move Fitness Trolley plan and monitored their exercise schedule through weekly fitness logs were rewarded
with a trip to a Cubs game and honored on Wrigley Field prior to a
game.

Cubs Charities Diamond Project


A thriving community is a healthy community one that offers youth
the chance to play, supports the civic spirit of sportsmanship and
embraces elders as coaches, mentors and allies. Local athletic fields
make it happen.
The Cubs Charities Diamond Project will launch in 2014 in order to
expand opportunities for children to play baseball, create or preserve
green space in underserved neighborhoods and to foster a love of the
game. Through the Diamond Project, Cubs Charities provides funds to
non-profit, neighborhood-based organizations to support capital improvement projects that improve the quality, safety and accessibility
of local baseball fields or indoor training facilities with the technical
assistance of Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) Chicago.

categories:
w Field Surface Grants: to help finance the resurfacing of
baseball fields.
w Indoor Training Amenities: to equip gymnasiums or facilities
with amenities that will allow for indoor play and baseball
skills training during the offseason.
w General Field/Stadium Support: for capital projects not associated with the actual field.

and fund two adaptive summer camps in 2013 to help promote independence.

African American Outreach


In addition to the teams efforts to increase the participation of African
American youth in baseball through the teams RBI program, the Cubs
are stepping up their efforts to strengthen their relationships in the
African American community.
The Cubs hosted Jackie Robinson Day at Wrigley Field in conjunction
with the movie premier of the Jackie Robinson biopic 42. The Cubs
also participated in Real Men Cook on the South side and the Bud
Billiken back-to-school parade to promote education. The Cubs are
ongoing sponsors of the Chicago Football Classic and Black Ensemble
Theater. Last winter, the Cubs donated toys during the holidays on the
South and West sides of Chicago to hundreds of children and families
in need.

Examples of programs funded through Cubs Care include:


Rookie League - A partnership with the Chicago Park District, Rookie
League is an introductory league for six to 12 year olds. The league
has grown to 96 locations with 521 teams across Chicago. Each year,
more than 8,000 children from neighborhoods throughout the city can
participate in the program free of charge.
Inner City Youth Baseball - Inner City Youth Baseball provides recreational activities for more than 360 kids, ages nine to 12, who live in
Chicago Housing Authority developments and scattered site housing
throughout Chicago. The program is operated in partnership with the
Chicago Park District. It also helps encourage participation of African
Americans in baseball by exposing African American youth to the game.
Reviving Baseball in the Inner Cities (RBI) - The Reviving Baseball
in Inner Cities (RBI) program of the Union League Boys & Girls Clubs
of Chicago reaches approximately 300 mostly minority teens ages 13
to 18 living in some of the poorest communities in Chicago. Grants
typically cover all programs costs so the league can provide equipment,
uniforms, and instruction at no cost to the participants. The Cubs RBI
Junior All-Star team appeared in the RBI World Series in 2013.
RBI Girls Softball - The RBI Girls Softball program aims to expose
girls, ages 11 through 14, to competitive league play. The program was
piloted in 2010 with four teams and was so well received the league
has now expanded to eight teams with more than 100 participants.
A grant awarded by Cubs Care helped create more opportunities for
young girls interested by softball.

Hispanic Outreach
The Cubs relationships with charitable organizations and programs
serving Latino communities throughout the area, and around the world,
are growing. Last summer, the Cubs participated in Festival Cubano,
one of the largest Hispanic festivals in Chicago. In September 2013,
the Cubs celebrated Hispanic Heritage month by hosting a Roberto
Clemente Day reception for Hispanic business, civic and community
leaders across Chicago.

Dominican Republic
Last May, following the opening of the Cubs new baseball academy in
the Dominican Republic, Cubs Charities contributed $20,000 to build
a new playground in Hato Viejo III.

Spring Training Ushers in Cubs Park and a Brand New Facility


Spring Training 2014 marks the debut of a new complex in
Mesa, Ariz., that will house both the Cubs major league and
minor league spring operations in February and March, and will be
utilized year-round by the organization. The complex consists of Cubs
Park, a brand-new major league facility that will host Cubs Spring
Training games and numerous minor league contests throughout the year,
and modern practice fields and facilities spread over 142 acres.
The complex is located on the former Riverview Golf Course, and is
bordered by the 101 and 202 interchange in Mesa.
The complex replaces both Mesas Fitch Park and new HoHoKam
Stadium, which housed Cubs Spring Training operations from 19972013.
w For comparison, the new 142-acre Spring Training complex is
nearly twice as large as the 79 combined acres between Fitch
Park and HoHoKam Stadium.
This marks the 36th consecutive Spring Training that the Cubs will
spend in Mesa, dating to 1979 ... it is the organizations second stint in
Mesa, as the Cubs trained there from 1952-65.

began Spring Training prior to the start of the Catcus League schedule,
had eight pitching mounds and four batting tunnels.
w Additionally, the complex features Cubs Park, a 15,000-capacity
stadium, as well as four practice fields, two major league fields
and a half-sized field.
The 70,000-square foot main building houses Cubs offices, both major and minor league clubhouses, a 7,500-square foot workout facility,
training facilities including a hydrotherapy room and a 120-seat theater.

CUBS FROM JAPAN


The Cubs have had four Japanese-born players in their 138-season history: outfielders Kosuke Fukudome and So Taguchi, right-handed pitcher Kyuji
Fujikawa and left-handed pitcher Hisanori Takahashi.
Fukudome made his Cubs debut, March 31, 2008 vs. Milwaukee (went 3-for-3 with a double, home run and three RBI), becoming the first Japaneseborn Cub. He went on to appear in 513 games for Chicago, spanning four seasons from 2008-11. Taguchi played in six games for Chicago during
the 2009 campaign.
Fujikawa pitched in 12 games for Chicago in 2013 before missing the seasons final four months due to an elbow injury that necessistated Tommy
John surgery. Takahashi made the 2013 club out of Spring Training after signing a minor league deal with the organization. He pitched in three
April games for Chicago before he was designated for assignment.
At least three other Japanese-born major leaguers have spent time in the Cubs system through 2013, but did not play in a big league game as a
Chicago Cub. Steven Randolph (born in Okinawa) was acquired by the Cubs from the Diamondbacks in mid-January 2005, but was released in
April of that year. Keith McDonald (born in Kokosuka) signed a minor league contract with the Cubs in November 2002, he played six games for
the Cardinals in 2000 and 2001. Hideo Nomo was in the Cubs minor league system for three weeks in April 1999. Ken Kadokura was signed to a
minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training in 2009, but did not appear with the Cubs in the regular season.

Fans gathered in Wrigley Fields concourse to congratulate Cubs player Gabby Hartnett as he
climbed the clubhouse stairs following his walk-off home run against the Pirates, September 28,
1938. The home run is famously known as Homer in the Gloamin. The current Cubs security office
was the teams home clubhouse in 1938. Photo courtesy the Chicago History Museum.

games ... Chicago hosted the Phillies, August 8 of that season, in the first scheduled night game at Wrigley Field ... that
game was rained out prior to five innings, so the first official night game at the Friendly Confines took place the following
evening, August 9, against the Mets (a 6-4 Cubs win) ... heres a look at how the club has done under the Wrigley Field
lights since 1988:

ZAC ROSSCUPS CAREER HIGHS AND LOWS


MOST CONSECUTIVE SCORELESS INNINGS: 3.1 9/20-29/13

TRIPLE PLAYS LAST TIME IT HAPPENED


The Cubs have been involved in 76 triple plays since 1876, turning 40 and hitting into 36. The Cubs have hit into the last three triple plays theyve
been involved in (most recently May 14, 2000, at Montreal).
On May 10, 1997, in San Francisco, the Cubs turned their last triple play. The Giants Stan Javier faced Amaury Telemaco in the fifth inning with Kirk
Rueter on second base and Darryl Hamilton on first. Javier hit a fly ball to short center field, with second base umpire Bob Davidson invoking the
infield fly rule. The ball dropped in, and both baserunners were thrown out attempting to advance (center fielder Brian McRae to third
baseman Jose Hernandez to second baseman Ryne Sandberg).
The last triple play turned at Wrigley Field was by San Francisco on May 8, 1998 (first baseman Charlie Hayes to shortstop Rich Aurilia). The last
time the Cubs turned a triple play at The Friendly Confines occurred June 2, 1983, vs. Pittsburgh when Pirates pitcher Rick Rhoden hit into an
around-the-horn triple killing (third baseman Ron Cey to second baseman Ryne Sandberg to first baseman Bill Buckner).
On May 30, 1927, shortstop Jimmy Cooney turned the only unassisted triple play in Cubs history. In the fourth inning of the Cubs game in Pittsburgh,
Cooney caught Paul Waners line drive, stepped on second base to retire Lloyd Waner, then tagged Clyde Barnhart off first.

THERES NO PLACE LIKE HOME


The Cubs won 16 consecutive games Jon Lieber started at Wrigley Field from May 24, 2001-May 6, 2002. He had a personal 13-0 mark over the
16-start span.
The stretch is tied for the longest winning span for a pitcher at Wrigley Field since the ballpark was built in 1914. The club previously won 16-straight
Lon Warneke starts May 27, 1932-April 18, 1933 (Warneke went 13-0 at home over the span).
The ballpark record for consecutive victories by an individual is 15, set by Bill Lee from September 7, 1935-August 26, 1936 (17 starts).

32 IS THE MAGIC NUMBER


The Cubs have had four starting pitchers make 32 or more starts in a season just three times since 1901. Most recently, the 2007 squad accomplished the feat when Ted Lilly and Carlos Zambrano made 34 starts apiece while Jason Marquis started 33 games and Rich Hill started 32
contests.
Prior to 2007, the last time Chicago had four starters with at least 32 outings apiece was in 1977 when Ray Burris (39), Rick Reuschel (37), Bill
Bonham (34) and Mike Krukow (33) turned the trick. In 1975, Reuschel (37), Bonham (36), Burris (35) and Steve Stone (32) teamed up to
accomplish the feat.

ALL IN THE FAMILY


There have been eight sets of fathers and sons who have played for the Cubs, most
recently Joe and Casey Coleman ... there have been 11 sets of brothers to play

ROBERTO CLEMENTE AWARD


Since 1971, Major League Baseball has annually presented an award that recognizes a player who best exemplifies the game of baseball through
sportsmanship, community involvement and positive contributions to his team. In 2013, Anthony Rizzo was recognized as the Cubs recipient for
this award.
In 1973, following the tragic death of Roberto Clemente, the award was named to honor the man whose spirit and goodwill will always be remembered. The 12-time All-Star and Hall of Famer was killed in a plane crash in 1972 delivering food and medical supplies to earthquake victims of
Nicaragua. The award, sponsored by John Hancock Financial Services, recognizes those individuals who truly understand the value of helping
others.
A panel of baseball dignitaries, including Vera Clemente and Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig, annually selects the winner from a list of 30
candidates, one from each Major League Baseball Club. These local winners are announced in September during Roberto Clemente Day. The
winner of the national Roberto Clemente Award is announced during a pre-game ceremony at the World Series. Past winners include Craig Biggio,
Clayton Kershaw, Jamie Moyer, Jim Thome, Curt Schilling, Al Leiter, Tony Gwynn, Willie Mays, Ozzie Smith, Cal Ripken, Jr., Albert Pujols and
Derek Jeter.

SAVE RULE
Rule 10.20 tells the official scorer to credit a pitcher with a save when:
(1) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his club, and; (2) he is not the winning pitcher, and; (3) he qualifies under the following
conditions: (a) he enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least 1.0 inning, or; (b) he enters the game with the
potential tying run either on base, at bat or on deck, or; (c) he pitches effectively for at least 3.0 innings.
When a relief pitcher enters a game in a save situation and departs or the game ends with the save situation no longer in effect because he has
given up the lead, he is charged with a blown save. If the save opportunity still exists when he leaves the game, he is not charged with a save
opportunity.
If the pitcher has not given up the lead when he leaves the game, though the save opportunity may no longer exist because of added runs scored by
his own team, he is not charged with a save opportunity.

HOW TO FIGURE BASEBALL STATISTICS
Earned Run Average (ERx9)/IP: Earned runs multiplied by 9, then divided by innings pitched (0.1 innings = .333, 0.2 innings = .667).
Batting Average H/AB: Hits divided by at-bats.
Slugging Percentage TB/AB: Total number of bases (single = 1 base, double = 2 bases, triple = 3 bases, home run = 4 bases) divided by at-bats.
Fielding Average (PO+A)/(PO+A+E): Putouts plus assists divided by total chances (putouts plus assists plus errors).
On-Base Percentage (H+BB+HBP)/(AB+BB+HBP+SF): Hits plus walks plus hit-by-pitch divided by at-bats plus walks plus hit-by-pitch plus
sacrifice flies.
Win-Loss Percentage: Number of games won divided by total games played.
Magic Numbers: Compute the number of games remaining, add one, then subtract the number of games ahead in the loss column of the
standings of the closest opponent.

REVOLVING DOOR
A club-record 56 players were utilized by the Cubs during the 2013 campaign (25 position players, 31 pitchers). The 31 pitchers used in 2013 also
set a team record.
The record for most players starting at any position in one season is 15, as the club utilized that total of starting pitchers in seven different
campaigns (most recently 1990).
Besides pitchers, the Cubs single-year marks for players used at a position: eight catchers (1916, 1960), nine first basemen (1976), nine second
basemen (1893), nine shortstops (1916), 10 third basemen (1902, 1957), 12 left fielders (five times, most recently 2000), 10 center fielders
(1904) and 16 right fielders (1902).

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
On May 6, 1998, in just his fifth big league start, Kerry Wood fanned 20 Houston
Astros and allowed just one base hit in a complete-game 2-0 win at Wrigley Field
allowed only two baserunners, giving up a single to Ricky Gutierrez in the third
inning and hitting Craig Biggio in the sixth.
The 20 strikeouts:
w Tied the major league record for a nine-inning game set by Bostons
Roger Clemens (April 29, 1986, and September 18, 1996).
w Eclipsed the National League record of 19 reached by Providences
Charlie Sweeney (June 7, 1884), St. Louis Steve Carlton (September 15, 1969), New Yorks Tom Seaver (April 22, 1970) and New
Yorks David Cone (October 6, 1991).
w Exceeded the M.L. rookie record of 18 strikeouts, which had been
reached by the Philadelphia Athletics Jack Coombs on September
1, 1906, and by Montreals Bill Gullickson (against the Cubs) on
September 10, 1980.
w Surpassed the Cubs mark of 17, set by Jack Pfiester in a 15-inning
outing May 30, 1906, vs. St. Louis.

2014 Chicago Cubs Media Guide

2013 SEASON HIGHLIGHTS


FINALSTANDINGS: The Cubs finished the 2013 regular season
with a 66-96 record, fifth in the N.L. Central Division, 31.0-games
behind the Cardinals ... it marked the Cubs fourth-straight
sub-.500 campaign dating to 2010.
The Cubs went 31-50 at Wrigley Field ... it marked the first
time Chicago lost 50 games at home in a season, and its
.383 home winning percentage was the franchises lowest in
a non-strike season.
Chicago was 35-46 on the road, a 12-win improvement
after the team went 23-58 away from the Friendly Confines
in 2012.
The Cubs had a season-high five-game winning streak, May
26-31 ... just prior to that, the team had a season-long sixgame skid, May 19-25.
INSIDE THE NUMBERS: Chicago went 30-25 from May 26-July
28, a .545 winning percentage that was fourth-best in the N.L. in
that span ... however, Chicago went 18-41 (.305) in its final 59
games beginning July 29.
The Cubs went nearly .500 against teams outside their
division in 2013 at 41-45 while turning in a 25-51 mark
against the National League Central, tied for the lowest
winning percentage (.329) by any team against its own
division in baseball (Houston was 25-51 vs. the A.L. West).
Chicago was 36-49 (.424) in 85 games decided by two or
fewer runs, tied for the seventh-most such games in baseball
... the team was 20-33 (.377) in 53 one-run decisions - the
33 one-run setbacks were fourth-most in the majors.
IT TAKES A VILLAGE: The Cubs used a franchise record 56 players
in 2013, surpassing the previous mark of 53 players used in 2012.
The Cubs used 43 players prior to the All-Star break,
including 24 pitchers - both are franchise records ...
Chicagos former record of 41 players used prior to the All-Star
break was done during the 2000 campaign.
Prior to using 24 pitchers in 2013, the club had previously
utilized 20 pitchers prior to the break during four seasons:
2012, 2011, 2008 and 2005.
HELLO, MY NAME IS _____: The Cubs team that took the field for
the season finale in St. Louis looked very different than the club
that suited up for Opening Day on April 1.
Of the 25 players on Chicagos Opening Day roster, less than
half 12 remained on the active roster at seasons end (32
players) that left 20 players on the final roster that were not
part of the Opening Day roster the 13 players no longer on
the roster from Opening Day were either traded, outrighted off
the 40-man roster or granted their unconditional release.
Nate Schierholtz was the lone outfielder remaining from the
Opening Day roster, while Anthony Rizzo, Starlin Castro and
Luis Valbuena remained from the infield (Darwin Barney was
on the D.L.) catchers Welington Castillo and Dioner Navarro
were both with the team all season.
James Russell and Hector Rondon were the lone remaining
relievers (Carlos Villanueva moved to the bullpen, back to
the rotation and back again to the bullpen) the starting
rotation featured Jeff Samardzija, Edwin Jackson and Travis
Wood, none of whom missed a start all season.
Overall, the Cubs saw 33 players make their club debut last
season, a franchise record that topped the former mark of 30
players to make their Cubs debut 111 years ago in 1902 ...
additionally, the 22 Cubs debuts prior to the All-Star break
marked a team record, surpassing 18 in 1949, 1957 and
2000.

2014 Chicago Cubs Media Guide

NEW FACES: In April of 2013, 14 players made their Cubs debut


thats the most in a single month in the 98 seasons Chicago has
played at Wrigley Field the previous high was 13 players making
their Cubs debut in both April of 1982 and April of 1995.
Three starting pitchers made their Cubs debut within the
teams first five games of the season: Edwin Jackson, Scott
Feldman and Carlos Villanueva it was the first time three
starting hurlers made their Cubs debut within the first five
games of the season since 1949 when Dutch Leonard (first
game), Monk Dubiel (third game) and Dewey Adkins (fifth
game) did so.
SOMETHING OF QUALITY: The Cubs recorded 91 quality starts
in 2013, tied for fifth-most in the National League and 18 more
than the 73 quality efforts Cubs starting pitchers recorded in all
of 2012 in their 91 quality starts in 2013, Cubs pitchers went
42-21 with 28 no-decisions and a 1.96 ERA (134 ER/616.2 IP)
the team was 13 games above .500 in those 91 games, posting
a 52-39 record.
Travis Wood finished tied for sixth in the majors with 24
quality starts ... that was the most by a Cubs left-handed
pitcher since Ken Holtzman had 25 in 1970.
THESE PITCHERS CAN HIT: Cubs pitchers recorded 19 RBI in May,
a National League record for a pitching staff in a single month
... the 1940 Detroit Tigers received 20 RBI from their pitchers in
1940.
START ME UP: Cubs starting pitchers posted a 2.97 ERA (41
ER/124.1 IP) through the first 20 games of the season, the first
time in 10 years that Cubs starters had a sub-3.00 ERA through
the first 20 games (2.72 ERA through 20 games in 2003).
INTERLEAGUE SUMMARY: The Cubs finished interleague play
with a 13-7 mark (.650) in 2013, marking the teams first winning season against the A.L. since going 8-4 in 2007 the 20
games played and 13 victories against the A.L. are single-season
franchise records, as the 13 wins surpass nine victories in 1997,
2001 and 2003 Chicago owns a 121-134 (.475) all-time
record in interleague play dating to 1997.
Anthony Rizzos 21 interleague RBI are tied for the most by
any Cub in a single season with Sammy Sosa, who had 21
RBI against the A.L. in 2000 Alfonso Sorianos seven interleague homers in 2013 are second-most by a Cub in a single
season (Sosa had nine in 2000).
ON THE DOUBLE: Anthony Rizzo (40 doubles) and Nate Schierholtz (32 doubles) became the first Cubs left-handed hitting teammates to each reach 30 doubles in the same season since Jacque
Jones (32 doubles) and Juan Pierre (31 doubles) in 2006.
RARE AIR: The Cubs saw their first 25 games of the season decided by four runs or less, a new franchise record the previous club
record of 21 games to start a season with all contests decided by
four runs or less took place 105 years ago in 1908.
The 25 games to start a season with all contests decided by
four runs or less is the second-longest streak in major league
history, behind the 1914 Detroit Tigers (33 games).
SAVE ME!: The Cubs had three pitchers record multiple saves in
April: Kevin Gregg (four), Kyuji Fujikawa (two) and Carlos Marmol
(two) in 45 Aprils since the save became an official MLB statistic in 1969, the Cubs for the first time have seen three pitchers
record multiple saves within the seasons first calendar month.

281

IN A PINCH? NO PROBLEM: May 3 vs. the Reds, the Cubs became


the first N.L. team since 1993 to have at least four pinch-hitters
reach safely in one inning when pinch-hitters Dioner Navarro
(singled) Dave Sappelt (singled), Scott Hairston (walked) and
Cody Ransom (walked) all reached safely in the ninth inning.
The previous N.L. club to turn the trick was the Atlanta Braves,
who had five pinch-hitters reach safely in the seventh inning,
September 21, 1993 at Montreal.
WINNING ALL OVER THE PLACE: The Cubs had a unique threegame stretch in which they won in three ballparks: May 26 at Great
American Ball Park, May 27 at U.S. Cellular Field and May 29 at
Wrigley Field ... it marked the first time since 1946 that the Cubs
had at least a three-game winning streak in which each victory was
at a different ballpark.
In 1946, The Cubs beat the Pirates at Wrigley Field on May 12,
then beat the Phillies at Shibe Park, May 15 ... May 18, the
Cubs beat the Giants at the Polo Grounds, and the next day,
the Cubs beat Brooklyn at Braves Field.
SLAMMING GOOD TIME: The Cubs received grand slams in
consecutive games (May 30 vs. the White Sox by Travis Wood, and
May 31 vs. Arizona by Scott Hairston) for the first time since July
27-28, 1998 in Arizona (both by Sammy Sosa).
Chicago previously hit grand slams in consecutive games at
Wrigley Field, September 15-16, 1972 vs. the Mets (by Jim
Hickman and Burt Hooton).
DRAWING A BLANK: The Cubs were shut out in three-straight
home games - August 3-4 vs. the Dodgers and August 12 vs. the
Reds - for the first time since August 20-21, 1924 vs. the Boston
Braves (DH on August 20) and Brooklyn Dodgers.
All told, the Cubs endured a franchise-record 33-inning scoreless streak at Wrigley Field from the fifth inning of August 2s
game vs. the Dodgers through the first inning of August 13s
affair vs. the Reds - the streak was snapped by a Nate Schierholtz two-run homer in the second inning.

CHARITABLE CUBS: Chicago Cubs Charities made significant contributions in the community donating more than $2.3 million to
Chicago area non-profit organizations in 2013.
As part of the Ricketts family mission to participate in the
lives of those in the community and to be good neighbors, the
Chicago Cubs community efforts reflect an on-going partnership between the Cubs and the people of Chicago ... these
efforts include charitable donations, neighborhood protection

In July, Chicago Cubs Charities launched the Cubs on the
Move Fitness Trolley, a program designed to promote physical
activity in the inner city ... Cubs players and Laura Ricketts

game at Wrigley Field.
Post-season, Chicago Cubs Charities will launch the Diamond
Project; a community impact program that will provide grants

fundraising auctions and raffles.
Cubs associates participated in more than 100 meetings of

YOU CAN COME HOME AGAIN


Of the more than 1,800 players who have appeared in at least one game for the Cubs, six have had 10-plus year interruptions in their time with the
club:
13 years: Roger Bresnahan (1900 1913-1915) and Johnny Moore (1928-1929, 1931-1932 1945)
12 years: Larry Gura (1970-1973 1985) and Dave Martinez (1986-1988 2000)
11 years: Greg Maddux (1986-1992 2004-2006)
10 years: Lonny Frey (1937 1947)
The longest span between homers for the team belongs to Billy Jurges, who went nine years, 22 days between Cubs homers August 2, 1938, through
August 24, 1947 (both homers were hit at the Polo Grounds). Jurges was a Cub from 1931-1938 and in 1946-1947.

IF AT FIRST ...
On June 29, 1937, Cubs first baseman Jimmy Collins set a National League record by not having any fielding chances in the Cubs 11-9 victory over
the Cardinals in St. Louis. Left fielder Augie Galan and catcher Gabby Hartnett each had eight of the Cubs 27 putouts, followed by second
baseman Billy Herman (4), shortstop Billy Jurges (3), center fielder Joe Marty (2), starting right fielder Frank Demaree (1) and substitute
right fielder Phil Cavarretta (1). Herman had both Cubs assists in the game on force plays at second base.
The only other N.L. first baseman to accomplish that feat was the Cubs Fred McGriff on August 15, 2002, vs. Houston. Catchers Todd Hundley (14)
and Joe Girardi (3) recorded 17 of the clubs 27 putouts via the strikeout route. Shortstop Alex Gonzalez had the Cubs only assist on a
ninth-inning ground out.

KEEPING THE ROTATION TOGETHER


The Cubs utilized as few as seven starters in a campaign as recently as 2004, when the only pitchers to start for the club were Matt Clement,
Greg Maddux, Sergio Mitre, Mark Prior, Glendon Rusch, Kerry Wood and Carlos Zambrano.
Since 1900, the club mark for fewest starters in a season is six set in 1901. During the 19th century, the team utilized as few as two starters in
four seasons, most recently during a 98-game 1883 campaign (Larry Corcoran 53 starts, Fred Goldsmith 45 starts).

GRAND SLAM FACTS AND FIGURES


The Cubs have hit 297 grand slams in franchise history, including
three in both 2012 and 2013.
The Cubs record for grand slams in a season is nine, recorded in
1929 by Hack Wilson (2), Rogers Hornsby (2), Charlie Grimm (2),
Riggs Stephenson, Norman McMillan and Kiki Cuyler. McMillans
roundtripper was of the inside-the-park variety.
The clubs first grand slam was hit by pitcher Larry Corcoran on June
20, 1882, off Worcesters Lee Richmond at Chicagos Lakefront Park.
The only Cubs to hit more than two grand slams in one season are
Ernie Banks (5 in 1955), Wildfire Schulte (4 in 1911) and Sammy
Sosa (3 in 1998). Sosa hit grand slams in back-to-back games July
27-July 28 of that season, becoming the first Cub to accomplish
that feat.
On June 3, 1987, the Cubs and Houston Astros combined to hit
three grand slams tying a major league single-game record. Two
Cubs hit bases-loaded roundtrippers Brian Dayett (off Bob Knepper) and Keith Moreland (off Julio Solano). Houstons Billy Hatcher
hit a grand slam in the contest off Rick Sutcliffe.
On August 16, 1890, Chicago batters Tom Burns and Malachi Kittridge both connected for fifth-inning grand slams off Pittsburghs
Bill Phillips for the franchises only multiple grand slam inning.

SEEING DOUBLE
Since the advent of divisional play in 1969, the Cubs have only had one instance in which starting pitchers struck out 10 batters in three straight
games. From May 11-13, 1969, Ken Holtzman (vs. San Francisco), Fergie Jenkins (vs. San Diego) and Dick Selma (vs. San Diego) all went the
distance and struck out 10 batters apiece in consecutive Wrigley Field affairs.

PUTTING ON THE HITS


In 2003, the Cubs recorded 20 hits, July 20 at Florida, and 21 on July 21 at Atlanta marking the first time since the advent of divisional play that
the club had back-to-back 20-hit efforts.

CUBS P
ITCHING FACTS
The Cubs set a team mark in
2013 by utilizing 31 different
pitchers.
The club mark for most
left-handed pitchers to see
mound action in a season
is 10 a figure reached in
both 1999 and 2000. Prior
to the 1999 campaign, the
team record of eight had
stood since 1966.
The team mark for most
strikeouts by a reliever is
11, set by Dave Hillman during a 7.2-inning relief stint
May 28, 1959, against Los
Angeles.
The last Cubs position player
to take the mound for the
Cubs was third baseman
Joe Mather, who saw relief
action August 27, 2012 vs.
Milwaukee.
Since the advent of divisional play in 1969, only two
Cubs have recorded saves in
their major league debuts:
Todd Wellemeyer (5/15/03
@ MIL) and Kyuji Fujikawa
(4/1/13 @ PIT).
The last Cubs rookie to
hurl consecutive complete
games was Rich Hill in 2006
(September 16 vs. Cincinnati, September 22 at Cincinnati).
Hill finished with two complete games in 2006,
making him the first Cubs
rookie with more than one
complete game in a season
since Frank Castillo tossed
four in 1991.
The best career start recordwise for a Cubs pitcher is
8-0, recorded by King Cole
in 1910 and Carlos Silva in
2010. The worst start belongs to Chris Volstad, who
began his Cubs career 0-9
in 2012.
On July 17, 1918, Lefty Tyler
pitched a Cubs-record 21
innings in a route-going 2-1
win against Philadelphia.
He gave up 13 hits and one
walk while striking out eight.
Three years earlier, on June
17, 1915, reliever George
Zip Zabel was called into a
game against Brooklyn with
two out in the top of the 1st
inning at West Side Grounds.
He had to pitch 18.1 innings
before earning the win, as
the Cubs won 4-3 in the
19th inning.
The Cubs top single-season
pitchers batting marks for:
AVG: .350....... Percy Jones (1927)
H: 30...........Lon Warneke (1930)
HR: 6.......Fergie Jenkins (1971)/

Carlos Zambrano (2006)
RBI: 20......Fergie Jenkins (1971)
SH: 19.....Ryan Dempster (2008)
SO: 55........Don Cardwell (1961)

GOING THE DISTANCE


The last time Cubs pitchers went the distance in three consecutive contests took place during the 1976 campaign when Rick Reuschel (September
18), Ray Burris (September 19) and Steve Renko (September 21) did the honors.
The last time the Cubs had three straight complete-game shutouts took place in May 1969. Ken Holtzman started the streak May 11 with an 8-0
victory over San Francisco. Fergie Jenkins then blanked San Diego 2-0 on May 12. Dick Selma finished the stretch with a three-hitter in a 19-0
victory over the Padres May 13.

FAN-TASTIC
On April 9, 2003, at Wrigley Field, the Cubs and Montreal combined for 27 strikeouts and no walks. Mark Prior fanned 12 Montreal batters, while
Javier Vazquez (14) and Luis Ayala (1) struck out 15 Cubs.
The 27 strikeouts without a walk were the most in any major league nine-inning game.
The National League record for most strikeouts in a nine-inning game is 30. On May 6, 1998, at Wrigley Field, Kerry Wood fanned 20 Houston
batters while Shane Reynolds struck out 10 Cubs in his 8.0 innings of work.

DIGGING OUT OF A HOLE


No Cubs team has ever overcome being more than 10 games below the .500 mark to finish a campaign at .500 or above. The biggest turnaround was
10 games, accomplished in 1968.
The 1968 club was 10 games under .500 twice, most recently on July 5 (35-45). That team finished the year at 84-78.
In 2007, the club was nine games below .500 at 22-31 and finished eight games above .500 at 85-77 to win the N.L. Central title.

Since 1900, there have been two campaigns in which five
Cubs pitchers homered in the same year in 1937 and
1941. The hammerin hurlers:
1937: Roy Parmelee 2, Clay Bryant 1, Curt Davis 1,
Bill Lee 1, Charlie Root 1.
1941: Claude Passeau 3, Bill Lee 2, Paul Erickson 1,
Vern Olsen 1, Charlie Root 1.
Since 1900, the most home runs hit by Cub pitchers in a
season is nine in 1961 (Don Cardwell 3, Bob Anderson 2,
Jack Curtis 2, Glen Hobbie 2).
Carlos Zambrano (23) has hit more homers than any other
pitcher in Cubs history ahead of Fergie Jenkins (13),
Claude Passeau (12) and Charlie Root (11). Six other hurlers
went deep at least six times.

CUBS HOLD MLB RECORD...
The Cubs hold the major league record for consecutive games
played (of at least nine innings) without being no-hit ...
entering 2014, Chicago has played 7,663 consecutive
contests with at least one hit since last being no-hit,
September 9, 1965, by the Dodgers Sandy Koufax.
Since Koufaxs perfect game, the Cubs have had 22 onehitters tossed against them, with the last one occurring
July 31, 2012 when Pittsburghs A.J. Burnett accomplished
the feat at Wrigley Field (Adrian Cardenas collected a twoout, pinch-single to right in the bottom of the eighth inning).
The last pitcher to take a no-hitter into the ninth inning
against the Cubs was Floridas Alex Fernandez on April 10,
1997 at Wrigley Field (broken up by a Dave Hansen single).
Entering 2014, the Cubs have gone a major league record 48
full seasons since they were last no-hit, surpassing the mark
set by the St. Louis Cardinals from 1920 to 1959. According
to the Sporting News Complete Baseball Record Book, the
American League record is 44 years, accomplished by the
New York Yankees from 1959 to 2002.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Highlights In Cubs History
1876: The first game in the history of the Chicago National League
franchise took place April 25, as Albert Spalding pitched the first N.L.
shutout in the Chicago White Stockings 4-0 win at Louisville Spalding also had the first hit in franchise history, while center fielder Paul
Hines scored the first run on a throwing error in the second inning.
The first home run in N.L. history was hit by the White Stockings
Ross Barnes on May 2 in a 15-9 victory in Cincinnati.
The creation of the N.L. was credited largely to William A. Hulbert,
who held the dual role of league president and Chicago president
until 1882 with the assistance of manager Albert Spalding,
Hulbert drafted the N.L. constitution and by-laws in 1875.
Of the eight original charter members of the National League, only
the Cubs have operated continuously in the same city.
1880: The North Siders won 21-straight games, June 2-July 8, including
one tie (June 4).
1883: Chicago set major league records when it scored 18 runs and
collected 18 hits in September 6s seventh frame ... the Cubs went on
to beat Detroit 26-6.
1903: In October, the Cubs and White Sox held the first of the semiannual City Series ... at points from 1903-1942, the two teams met
following the regular season for a crosstown set as long as neither team
made the Fall Classic.
In the inaugural year, the Chicago teams ended with seven wins
apiece ... what would have been the deciding game was cancelled
due to weather.
1906: The Chicago club went 116-36 in setting major league records
for wins in a season and winning percentage (.763).
The Cubs and White Sox met in the first and only all-Chicago Fall
Classic ... it also marked the first time two teams from the same
city met in the World Series ... the Cubs fell to the White Sox, four
games to two.
1907: Cubs was officially adopted as the nickname of the team
the Cubs then went on to win their first World Series, defeating Detroit
in five games.

year, defeating Detroit four games to one.

hit at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 homers in a single season.
1916: The Cubs moved into Weeghman Park (now known as Wrigley
Field).
1921: William Wrigley Jr. became the Cubs majority owner.
Wrigleys involvement with the team began in 1916, when a 10man syndicate led by Charles Weeghman purchased the club from
Charles Taft in 1919, Wrigley purchased Weeghmans shares to
have controlling interest.
After Wrigleys death in 1932, his interest passed to his son, Philip
K. Wrigley upon Philips death in 1977, principal interest in the
ballclub was left to his son, William Wrigley.
The sale of the club to Tribune Company in 1981 ended the longest
continuous operation of a franchise by the same family in one city.
1924: The first Cubs game was broadcast on the radio ... Hal Totten
transmitted the April 23 home opener from the Wrigley Field roof ...

HEY NOW, YOURE AN ALL-STAR


Ernie Banks was selected to the National League All-Star team 14 times,
the highest total for a Cubs player. Ryne Sandberg ranks second in club
history with 10 All-Star appearances (nine starts).
The only Cub to earn Most Valuable Player honors was Bill Madlock, who
had a game-winning two-run bases-loaded ninth-inning single off the
White Soxs Rich Gossage in the 1975 contest. Madlock shared MVP
honors with the New York Mets Jon Matlack.
Seven Cubs batters have hit All-Star home runs, most recently Alfonso
Soriano in the 2007 contest off Seattles J.J. Putz. The others: Augie Galan
(1936 off Detroits Schoolboy Rowe), Hank Sauer (1952 off Clevelands
Bob Lemon), Ernie Banks (1960 off Bostons Bill Monbouquette), George
Altman (1961 off Bostons Mike Fornieles), Billy Williams (1964 off
Kansas Citys John Wyatt) and
Andre Dawson (1991 off Bostons Roger Clemens).
Cubs pitchers have earned five All-Star wins Bob Rush (1952), Larry
Jackson (1963), Bruce Sutter (1978 and 1979) and Lee Smith (1987).
Cubs relievers have picked up four saves (Lon Warneke in 1936, Don
Elston in 1959, Sutter in 1980 and Randy Myers in 1995). Cubs pitchers
have suffered four All-Star losses Bill Lee (1939), Claude Passeau
(1941 and 1946) and Johnny Schmitz (1948).
Passeau is the only Cubs pitcher to start in the All-Star Game, taking the
loss in the 1946 Midsummer Classic at Bostons Fenway Park.
The youngest Cubs player to be selected to the N.L. All-Star team and
appear in the game was Starlin Castro, who was 21 years old at the 2011
Midsummer Classic in Arizona. The youngest Cubs pitcher to appear in an
All-Star Game was 23-year-old Carlos Zambrano (2004).
The oldest Cub to play in an All-Star Game was 38-year-old Ernie Banks,
who made his 13th and final All-Star appearance in the 1969 Classic
in Washington, DC.
Three Cubs managers have guided the N.L. All-Star team Charlie Grimm
(1936 and 1946), Gabby Hartnett (1939) and Dusty Baker (2003).
Three All-Star Games have been played at Wrigley Field in 1947, in
1962 and in 1990. The American League won all three games
by scores of 2-1, 9-4 and 2-0.

BEAR CUBS
The greatest number of players to make their major league debuts in one season for the Cubs is 20 in 1902. The high number of youngsters that
season was one of the primary reasons why the club was nicknamed the Cubs. With the raid of National League players by American League
teams, many N.L. clubs stocked their spring training rosters with young, unproven players. The Chicago Daily News, noting all the youngsters in the
Chicago camp, used the nickname Cubs for the first time in its March 27, 1902 edition.

In 1906, the Cubs participated in four-consecutive 1-0 contests. The Cubs beat Cincinnati 1-0 July 1 at Chicagos West Side Grounds, then fell the
next day by the same score. The club then swept an Independence Day doubleheader at Pittsburgh by identical 1-0 scores.
That was part of the Cubs 1906 club-record stretch of playing nine straight one-run contests June 24-July 4.

PHILLING UP THE SCOREBOARD


On August 25, 1922, the Cubs topped Philadelphia 26-23 at Cubs Park in the highest-scoring game in major league history. The teams combined for
51 hits, 23 walks and 25 men left-on-base. A 10-run second inning followed by a 14-run outburst in the fourth helped the Cubs build a 25-6 lead.
Philadelphia fought back and had the bases full when the last out was recorded in the ninth inning.
On May 17, 1979, Dave Kingman hit three homers and drove in six runs, but Philadelphias Mike Schmidt answered with two homers including the
game-winner in the 10th to give the Phillies a 23-22 victory in baseballs highest-scoring game since the 1922 affair. The Cubs had trailed 21-9,
but rallied and tied the score in the eighth.

THE SANDBERG GAME


On June 23, 1984, Ryne Sandberg went 5-for-6 with two late-inning dramatic homers and seven RBI in the Cubs 11-inning 12-11 victory over St.
Louis.
Sandberg hit a solo homer off the Cardinals Bruce Sutter in the bottom of the ninth inning to knot the game at 9-9. Then, after St. Louis tallied twice
in the top of the 10th, Sandberg once again knotted the game this time with a two-run shot off Sutter. Following his game-tying homers, the
Cubs won it on Dave Owens RBI single.
The Sandberg Game overshadowed the performance of the Cardinals Willie McGee, who hit for the cycle.

PINCHED BY A PITCHER
On August 11, 2001, San Franciscos Livan Hernandez was the last pitcher to have a four-hit game against the Cubs going 4-for-4 with a solo homer
and three RBI.
On August 8, 2000, Los Angeles pitcher Darren Dreifort hit a pair of homers in a 7-5 victory over the Cubs at Dodger Stadium.
Dreifort was just the fourth pitcher to record a multi-homer game against the Cubs, joining Cincinnatis Frank Foreman (July 4, 1895), the Boston
Braves Jim Tobin who hit three homers (May 13, 1942) and the New York Mets Walt Terrell (August 6, 1983).

pushed across six runs from the fifth through seventh innings.
In the process, the Marlins became the fourth team in League Championship Series history to overcome a three-games-to-one deficit in
