Game 7 Cubs Cards-GO CUBS!

This is Cap's real 1888 Goodwin Champs card. 

The card is so perfectly beautiful it needs no fantasy version.

Below is a mash of a number of old style baseball cards.

The large CUBS header was taken from an ancient Cubs scorecard cover.

The painting used is by Arthur K. Miller.

Hard hitting heavy drinking Hack Wilson only played for the Chicago for six seasons but he posted some of the most fantastic numbers of any Cub ever. During those six years he smacked 190 home runs and drove in 769 runs. He averaged .322, compiled a .412 OBP and a robust 1.002 OPS.

In 1930 Wilson launched 56 round trippers (a National League record that held for 68 years) and drove in 191 runs! Couple this with a .454 OBP and 1.177 OPS and you have one of the best seasons ever put together by a ballplayer.

His amazing RBI total that season has still not been surpassed. Only Lou Gehrig (184) and Hank Greenberg (183) have come close. Manny Ramirez, with 165 RBIs  in 1999, was the most recent player to make any kind of a run for the record.

I also have an '85 mfc Bob Newhart card in which he's holding the CUBS big win "W" flag.
I think to post that one before the game might be a jinx, so I'll keep that one up my sleeve for now.

GO CUBS!!!

Game 6 Cubs cards! Ryne Sandberg!

Posting Harry again because he got a win last time out.

GO CUBS!

Game 5 Cubs card!!!

All I know is that I do NOT want to see Cleveland celebrating at Wrigley.

GO CUBS!

Game 4 Cubs Card!!!!

Only one Cubs card tonight. But it's three for the price of one!

 It also took all afternoon to make, so there it is. Some oldies:

TINKER TO EVERS TO CHANCE!

Last night's game was incredible. Too bad Cleveland held on.

Go get 'em tonight Cubs!

Game three Cubs Cards!

Eddie Vedder gets a card. A big Cubs fan, as a child he idolized 

Jose Cardenal. Jose played for the Mets a little bit during the 1979 and 1980 season.

He needs an mfc card so he get's two cards. 

Cardenal played for the Mets when I had my back turned on the team for trading Tom Seaver.

From mid 1977 to just about when Mookie came up in 1980 I protested the move by following the team from a distance. The fact that I had moved to South Jersey in the late 70's made it easier.

Making it to Shea became quite a hike.

Fergie Jenkins was so big for the Cubs that he pops right out of his '73 mfc card.

I'd like the series to go to the Cubs in seven. Whenever the Mets aren't in the Big Show I always hope the series will go seven games because I want as much baseball as possible before the seasons over. But if the Cubs wanna go ahead and take the next three game and celebrate  at Wrigley Field, I'll be okay with that. That would be nice. Go Cubs!
