Cubs historical sleuthing: 1940 edition

This will be an article about the Cubs’ “City Series” games against the White Sox at Wrigley Field October 1 and 2, 1940. That’s not in doubt, given the screenshot from the video I’m going to show you posted above.

The Cubs and Sox played these games virtually every October, except years when either team was in the World Series, until World War II interrupted and then ended the tradition.

Three years ago, I posted this article about a film discovered by Flagstaff Films, a company specializing in old baseball films, about the 1940 City Series.
