April 26, 1941 the Cubs organization brought in an organ to be played between innings etc. I don't think the organization was serious about the whole thing but it caught on. The fans loved it. Next thing you know there was an organ at Ebbets Field. Now at least half of the the Major League stadiums have organs. Many fans dislike the canned music.
Gary Pressy plays organ for the Cubs now. I don't believe he is allowed to pinch hit.
I'm a Cards fan but it wouldn't be the same without the Cubs, and yes sooner or later they're gonna win the big one.
Don't give me any lip about this lineup. I'm the G.M. today
Lineup:
Three Fingers Mordeci Brown P ERA 1.06 1906
Fergie Jenkins P SIX 20 game seasons
Bruce Sutter Relief can you say heat
Gabby Hartnett C Top 10 in slugging 7 times
Mark Grace 1st Nine 300 game seasons
Ryne Sanberg 2nd Five 300 game seasons, bunch of gold gloves
Ernie Banks SS 500 HR's
Rogers Hornsby 2nd some say as good
Ron Santo 3rd Two seasons over .335 then traded ???
Billy Williams OF Five 30 HR seasons
Hack Wilson OF 5'6" pow hitter 190 RBI 1 season, Hall of F.
KiKi Cuyler OF .321 lifetime
Frank Chance Manager

Those are real players in your imagenairy lineup? I had no idea that you were so knowledgeable in the game of baseball. Maybe the Columbus Mudcats are looking for an organist, and you could also do the play by play, as well as be as assistant manager. Who knows where that could lead. Alll kidding aside, I am amazed at your knowledge of the game. Battter up!
No. Jamie Sr. could tell you the best lineup and perhaps change it a bit. The only ones I knew were Ernie Banks from my childhood and maybe five of the very best who came later
