The
Cubs
were originally called the White
Stockings from 1976 until 1907.
The Cubs have the longest dry spell between
championships in all of professional sports, having
failed to win a World Series since 1908. The Cubs'
2003 playoff run ended in an emotional game
when in Game 6 of the National
League Championship Series, Cubs fan jumped up and
deflected a ball that seemed about to fall into the
glove of Cubs outfielder Moises Alou, thus turning an
out into a home run.
The
Cubs, who were winning the game -- and
would have gone to the World Series for the first time
since 1945 had they won -- ended up losing. Then, they
lost the seventh game. So it was the Marlins who went to
the World Series instead.)
