In 1907 they claimed their first World Series title defeating the Detroit Tigers in six games, only to repeat that feat again in 1908 once again knocking out the Detroit Tigers.

Over the remainder of the 1900's, the Chicago Cubs became known as the tough luck team. Whether it was blamed on management, players or the Curse of the Billy Goat, the team has remained without a title since 1908. But in that same period of time, the Chicago Cubs and the city of Chicago have began a love affair unmatched by almost any other city. Chicagoans fill the friendly confines of Wrigley Field the second oldest stadium only behind Boston's Fenway Park every game. During the seventh inning stretch of every home game, fans join together to root, root, root for Chicago Cubs singing the 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame', a tradition started by legendary announcer Harry Caray, who is now immortalized by a statue that was erected in his honor.

Banks played his entire playing career in a Chicago Cubs uniform, winning MVP awards in 1958 and 1959. The eleven time all-star was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1977. His number 14 is also among the five that have been retired by the Chicago Cubs, with Ron Santo (10), Ryne Sandberg (23), Billy Williams (26) and Jackie Robinson (42).
