Great collection!:
I would add a Theo Epstein card just for completion. |

Wow, who would have ever thought that a man could put together a list of 100 greatest Cubs? I thought you'd go dry after Santo.
Seriously though, great idea and a super nice collection.

I guess that explains the inclusion of Ray Burris on this list. I’m a Cubs fan, and I did a double take when I saw that. 😬⚾️

Only 36 men started more games for the Cubs than Ray Burris. If that's not greatness...

Hey Shankweather,
How about the greatness of Don Young or Al Distaso or Rich Nye. That could be a cool collection 😎

Ah, Alec Distaso, the 1,608th greatest Cub of all time. That's going deep! Can you imagine if the internet was around for the 69 Cubs? The chat rooms would roast those boys!

Al is deceased now. He was a client of mine at my veterinary clininc that I used to own in West Central Illinois. God rest his soul. Great guy. Also me5 Rich Nye. He is now a retired veterinarian. Don Young is basically a recluse. Also met Ken Rudolph through Cubs camp. Beckert is a great guy but not in good health. Gene Oliver passed a few years ago. Great names and team mates.

I remember Ray giving up a lot of majestic home runs back in the day! 😬

Honestly, I started working on this years ago for that very reason. I had heard names like Bill Dahlen and Joe Tinker and Kiki Cuyler but I didn't know much about them. So I started reading about all these Cubs of yore and collecting their cards. |

New pickup! Wasn't sure I'd ever find one of these. Kyle Hendricks, 99th greatest Cub of all time.
