The Chicago Cubs
There are two baseball teams in Chicago. One of them is the Cubs, and the other is the Chicago White Sox.
The Cubs were originally called the White Stockings. The Chicago Cubs have been playing since 1876. The Chicago Cubs have been the only team in the National League to stay in the same city for more than 100 years.
The Cubs' baseball park is called Wrigley Field. In 1920 Wrigley Field was called Weeghman Park.
In 1926 William Wrigley, the creator of Juicy Fruit Chewing Gum, bought Weeghman Park and named it Wrigley Field after himself.
In 1981 William Wrigley sold Wrigley Field to The Tribune Company for 20.5 million dollars. William Wrigley and his family had owned it for 65 years.
The Cubs won the World Series in 1907-08 and they haven't won ever since. They won10 National League Pennants and have 30 former players in the Hall of Fame.
The Chicago Cubs are a very important part of history and have been big part of people's lives since 1876.
