dave, when I read that second post, from the corner of my eye I thought it read "for Christ's sake...". Perhaps "For Chad's sake" should be instituted as a new curse? "Of for Chad's sake! It's Kerry WOOD, not Kerry WOODS, dumbass!"

Gold Gloves only awarded since sometime in the mid-50s. Ken Hubbs? I think won before Santo. Did Ernie win one? I think he did, from reading something Bill James wrote.

agree DCF, I'm voting for Ken Hubbs. If that's the answer we need a link to AZ Phil's tribute to Hubbs

Submitted by cubster on Tue, 07/17/2007 - 07:46 pm

Now that I've peeked. Ken Hubbs won in 1962, but he definitely isn't the answer. Randy Hundley won a GG in 1967, even Jody Davis one one!

"Adam — July 17, 2007 @ 2:06 pm Ryne Sandberg in 1965?" Where to begin on this one?

Submitted by Rob G. on Tue, 07/17/2007 - 07:52 pm

pretty sure Adam was joking there... someone said it but it didn't seem like their actual answer.

I looked now too. This is tough. Award questions like this are always interesting because you have to keep in mind that they haven't awarded all the awards forever. Last year was the 50th year of Gold Gloves, for example. The Cy Young award is somewhat similar; you can't hold it against Warren Spahn that he only won one Cy Young because they didn't offer the award until 1956, which wasn't until he was 15 years into his career.

I think the Bill James comment I read on Ernie was to the effect that sometimes the gold glove is just awarded to someone because the league lacks a truly dominant player at the position. One of my partners swears that Ernie was a very good shortstop, with good hands and a good arm. http://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/gold_glove_nl.shtml Cub winners Ernie Banks 1960 Ken Hubbs 1962 Ron Santo 1964-68 Randy Hundley 1967 Glenn Beckert 1968 Don Kessinger 1969-70 Ryne Sandberg 1983-1991 Bob Dernier 1984 Jody Davis 1986 Andre Dawson 1987-88 Greg Maddux 1990-92, 2004-05 (2006 also, began with Cubs) Mark Grace 1992-93, 1995-96 Derrek Lee 2005

After I guessed, I looked up the real answer. According to B-R.com the first gold gloves weren't given out til 1957. Had I known that I would have guessed a different year, probably. Although I probably would have guessed 1957.

Kendall to start tonight, Bonds still needs to rest his poor legs that cant support all those roided up muscles any more.

    White Sox DFA Bailey Horn. I'm thinking the Cubs would love to get him back although they probably won't have a decent chance of claiming him without another swap.

    WSox also call up former Cub Rafael Ortega (and additionally Tommy Pham). They are hurting and having a gawd awful April.

    White Sox DFA'd Bailey Horn.

    He wasn't producing good results in Charlotte (AAA).

    But Jed might bring him back with that open 40man spot. Then try the "sneak him thru waivers" gambit.

    Oh my, now I will have nightmares of me sitting in the bowels of the Wrigley security detention cell.

    One more thing...

    One of the reasons I come to this site...

     ...in addition to Arizona Phil, who is, as we all know, a treasure trove of well-written fresh information, honest evaluation, and sneaky-subtle humor regarding the entire Cub organization...

    ... is CubbyBlue and Tim's fantastic and timely visual takes on the Cubs (to be fair, he does have a much broader Chicago-flavored brush well beyond the Cubs).  Thanks for so many memorable images.  I am fortunate to own (one of my prize possessions) a print that I framed (55/200) of "The Last Out" with KB's shit-eating grin as he fields the series winning out of the 2016 WS.

    Tim, will you visit me if I do the text security thingy and description: Tim S? Or will I find myself in a Cub detention cell.

    i.e. "or send a text message to 773-839-**** with the keyword "Friendly" and include your seat location and a description of your issue.

    Incredible moment. Huge part of the fun of working there is when something magic like that happens, and you get to interact with baseball fans. 

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    That bear hug was indeed awesome. Word is that Dansby has become an outstanding clubhouse leader and that moment really demonstrated it. That reaction was one of a proud coach/mentor who’s student just excelled. I’m not even sure who was more overjoyed, Dansby or PCA. A veteran expressing that kind of unabashed support and enthusiasm for a struggling rookie is beyond fantastic to see.

    BAHAHA! I've actually not seen a single fight, but can't wait to see 70 degrees for sure!

  • crunch (view)

    next time i roll up into wrigley i'll try to start a fist fight and maybe we'll meet.

    be prepared.  i'm gonna make you earn your money.

    seriously, though...that's a cool as hell "retirement" assignment.  i imagine it will be better with warmer nights.

  • Cubster (view)

    I was there for the PCA homer as well. 50 degree baseball is no longer fun when sitting in the shade (knit hats, scarves and gloves are football gear) but I agree it’s one of those really cool moments. I loved the bear hug given by Swanson at home plate and of course the added impact that the PCA homer became a game winner.
