Chicago Cubs: Remembering Dawson’s cycle, April 29, 1987

Before 1987, the Chicago Cubs pulled off a deal that would change their immediate future and the future of the franchise as a whole. Andre Dawson, the star outfielder for the Montreal Expos for 11 years, took a very club-friendly deal in free agency to play at Wrigley Field. It turned out to be a match made in heaven as Dawson would immediately go on to win MVP and become a headliner for the team for years.

One game stands out more than the others in Dawson’s big year with the Cubs.
