Chicago Cubs: ‘Smiling’ Stan Hack remains an all-time organizational great
Often forgotten about amongst Chicago Cubs greats, Stan Hack will go down in history as one of the best in team history.
The Chicago Cubs have been blessed throughout their history to have had many talented stars don the red, white and blue. While it remains easy to look to the likes of Gabby Hartnett, Kiki Cuyler, and Phil Cavarretta, ‘Smiling’ Stan Hack should be a name on this list who fans cannot forget.
Born in 1909, in Sacramento, California, Hack joined the Cubs officially in 1932. He was 22 years old when he made his professional debut. Hack handled the hot corner for Chicago, never calling another position, or city, his home.
