Regardless of the bad taste a lot of Chicago Cubs fans had in their mouths heading into 2020, there’s no questioning that the last five years have represented a high-water mark in the franchise history. Not since the turn of the twentieth century has the organization enjoyed such sustained success.
Now, a team – especially a championship-winning one – is greater than the sum of all its parts and this Cubs group is no exception. We’ve seen players on the North Side take home Rookie of the Year, MVP and Cy Young honors. We’ve also had All-Star selections, dominant postseason showings and historic stretches unlike anything seen in generations.
