Cubs historical sleuthing: The Chicago City Series
Flagstaff FilmsThe Cubs and White Sox now play each other either four or six times a year in interleague play, depending on which division each is facing.
But from 1903 to 1942, the teams often played a Chicago “City Series” after the regular season was over, in seasons where neither won their league pennant. Twenty-six City Series were played in that era and here’s a good history of all of them.
Our friends at Flagstaff Films found these two gems from a City Series recently:
