The only surviving charter member of the League to have played in the same city for their entire history, the Cubbies set an unbroken record with 116 victories during their 1906 154-game season. Between 1905 and 1910 the Cubs won four pennants and two World Series titles under the management of first baseman Frank Chance. Key players on that team included Chance himself, shortstop Joe Tinker, second basemen Johnny Evers and pitchers Mordecai "Three-Finger" Brown and Ed Reulbach who threw a one-hitter in the 1906 World Series. This lineup gave rise to the expression "Tinker to Evers to Chance" which is still used to describe a well-oiled machine or organizational structure.

When this threesome retired the Cubs faced some competitive hard times. Their draught was not broken until chewing-gum tycoon William Wrigley purchased the team and injected a much-needed dose of financing and new management that paid off with pennant wins in 1929, 1932, 1935 and 1938. Their stadium, Wrigley Field, is named after this benefactor.

Unfortunately, it all ended in game 4 of the 1945 World Series when Mr. Wrigley removed a Mr. Sianis from the stands. Sianis had come to the game with two tickets-- one for himself and one for his guest. The problem seemed to be that his guest was actually his goat. As the barnyard animal and owner were being ejected, the quirky Mr. Sianis muttered, "the Cubs, they ain't gonna win no more". And they did not. The "Curse of the Billy Goat" has reportedly been responsible for the Chicago Cubs not participating in the World Series since that fateful 1945 day.
