Chicago Cubs Team Trivia Quiz
I thought I'd try something new today. Rather than put up another post about an obscure and esoteric record for all of baseball, I figured it might be interesting to create a quiz about a major league franchise's more obscure records. I tried not to make it too difficult, but some of the questions should still test the knowledge of even die-hard fans of the subject franchise.
I figure the Chicago Cubs are a good team to kick off the quiz idea. One of the original franchises of the National League in 1876, they have a passionate following throughout the world. No strangers to tragedy, controversy, and even the occasional championship back in the day, there is plenty to draw from in the well of Cubs minutiae. Answers to the quiz can be found below the questions.
