Welcome back to Historical Cubs Heroes and Goats. All off season long we’ve been taking a look back at the 2003 Cubs. The 2003 team, similar to the 1984 team, got within one win of the Cubs first World Series trip since 1945. As you all know, the 2003 team got within a few outs of making it there. We don’t want to dwell too heavily on the pain. Instead, we are looking back at how that team came together.
As with most things, objects in the rear view mirror can change over time.
