PROFILE |
 |
The Chicago National League Ball Club (the Chicago Cubs) first swung into action as the Chicago White Stockings in 1876. The team was branded with a string of other monikers (Colts, Orphans, Spuds) before settling on the Cubs in 1907. Media conglomerate Tribune Company, needing programming for its TV and radio stations, purchased the team in 1981 from the Wrigley family. The Cubs captured its last World Series victory in 1908, but loyal fans continue to wait for the next championship celebration. Famed Wrigley Field, home to the team since 1916, is the second-oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball (after Boston's Fenway Park).
