The Chicago Cubs’ are a professional baseball team located in Chicago, Illinois. They belong to the Central Division of the National League. **Stadium**The Cubs have played their home games at Wrigley Field since 1916. **Nickname**The Cubs are often referred to by both fans and media as The North Siders because Wrigley Field is in Chicago’s North Side Lakeview community. The White Sox, in contrast, are called The Southsiders.**History**The Cubs are one of two Major League clubs based in Chicago, (the other being the American League Chicago White Sox). They are one of the two remaining charter members of the original National League (the other being the Atlanta Braves). **Record By Decade**‘1903-1909Frank Seelee guided the Cubs to two and a half winning seasons, before being replaced by Frank Chance midway through 1905. In 1906 and 1907, and 1908 and 1909, the Cubs won over a hundred games each season.
1910-1919Chance continued to coach the Cubs until 1912. He never had a losing season. In 1913, Johnny Evers took over the reins, for a single year, as did Hank O’Day and then Roger Bresnahan. Joe Tinker then took over for a single year. (Tinkers to Evers to Chance was a famous double play combination for the Cubs.) Fred Mitchell then became coach for the rest of the decade, from 1917-1919.
1920-1929Mitchell’s final year as coach was in 1920, then he was replaced by Johnny Evers again - but only for half a season, before Bill Killefer stepped in, and coached for the rest of the 1921 season and up to the end of the 1925 season. Frank McCarthy then took over for the remaining five years of the decade.
1930-1939Joe McCarthy coached for only half of 1930, and then was replaced by Rogers Hornsby, who coached for the rest of 1930 and then for 1931 and half of 1932, before he was replaced by Charlie Grimm, who would coach until 1938. Gabby Hartnett took over for 1939.
1940-1949Hartnett’s last season for the Cubs was 1940, then he was replaced by Jimmie Wilson who coached until 1944. Charlie Grimm then took over and coached until halfway through the 1949 season, when he was replaced by Frankie Frisch.
1950-1959Frisch coached from 1951 to 1952, and then was replaced by Phil Cavarretta, who was replaced in 1954 by Stan Hack, who lasted until 1956. Then, Bob Scheffing took over for the rest of the decade.
1960-1969In 1960, Charlie Grimm returned to the Cubs, but lasted only half a season before being replaced by Lou Boudreau, who was replaced at the end of the year by a virtual revolving door of coaches. Stability came in 1963 with Bob Kennedy, who lasted for three years. In 1966, Leo Durocher got his chance, and after an initial losing season, guided the Cubs to three straight winning seasons.
