Chicago Cubs history
Started in 1870 as the White Stockings, the Cubs are one of two National League charter clubs still around from 1876, and they have used the Cubs name since 1903. Wrigley Field, their home on the North Side, is a National Historic Landmark. The 1906 team won 116 games and finished 116-36, a .763 mark, though the crosstown White Sox beat it in the World Series.
Chicago then won the 1907 and 1908 World Series, becoming the first team to play in three straight Series and the first to win twice. After that came a very long wait. The 2016 title ended a 108-year World Series drought and a 71-year pennant drought, both MLB records. The victory parade that followed was among the largest gatherings in recorded history.
