This week in 1908, 1945

Every weekend JOBC goes back in time to the last year the Cubs won the pennant and the World Series.


This week in 1908, the first Mother`s Day was celebrated, the first wireless broadcasting patent was issued, and 3 Finger Brown won two games for the Cubs.

This week in 1945, Mussolini is captured and killed, Hitler kills himself and Eva Braun, and Cubs pitcher Hank Wyse throws a one-hitter.
