Chicago Cubs Tickets

Chicago Cubs Tickets 2020 Outlook

The Cubs think they can win this division, even if they haven't convinced everyone else yet! They've picked up pitchers Tony Barnette and Brad Brach this year. They also added infielder Daniel Descalso. Jason Heyward, David Bote, and Javier Baez have looked good at the plate. Cole Hamels and Jose Quintana are pitching winning ball. All-star Jon Lester's return from injury adds needed strength to the starting rotation. Pedro Strop has been impressive in relief with saves. The Cubs are playing over .500 ball early and are not that far from the top. The 2016 World Series winners could strike again! 

The history of the Chicago Cubs baseball team is filled with ups and downs, as well as iconic figures on and off the field, all while residing in one of the most recognizable ballparks in baseball. It is no secret that the Cubs are known for their futility when it comes to winning world championships, but you wouldn't know it by looking at their fans. Chicago Cubs tickets sell out for nearly every game, filling every seat at Wrigley Field to cheer on their Cubbies!

The franchise history dates back to 1876, but it wouldn't be for another 25 years that they would become known as the Chicago Cubs. The Chicago Daily News was the first to pen the name Cubs, but in the prior years the team was known as the White Stockings, Colts and Orphans. At the turn of the century, the Cubs were among the league's elite teams. 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 Tigers.

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

The team recently hired Theo Epstein as their new President of Baseball Operations, a man who helped orchestrate two World Series titles with the Red Sox. He brings a new-found level of expectations for the Cubs and their fans. Epstein signed a five-year contract with the Cubs back in 2011 and then resigned another five-year contract in September of 2016. He must have known things were headed in the right direction for the Cubs because at the end of the 2016 regular season, the Cubs finished with a 103-58 record. It was their best record since the 1910 season. The team headed to the playoffs where they defeated the San Francisco Giants in the NLDS. Their next challenge was to face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS. The Cubs succeeded, winning their first pennant since 1945 and broke the “Curse of the Billy Goat”. The Cubs then went up against the Cleveland Indians in the World Series where they won in 7 games. Finally, the Cubs won their first World Series in 98 years!
