Thanks for reminding us of this history; I'm sure we'll hear more of it as the Cubs move on in the playoffs. This is what makes blogs great, particularly yours. Keep up the good work.

What are the chances that the Times would use that same word in a headline today as they used 100 years ago?

Fascinating story, very well written. Wow
