Last year, as the 2010s were drawing to a close, I wrote this article about the six men who had played in exactly one game for the Chicago Cubs during that 10-year period, 2010-19.
I thought it might be fun to do companion pieces for other decades, but in looking things up I discovered I had to go all the way back to 1970 to find at least six men who had played in just one Cubs game. Just nine Cubs players accomplished this “feat” in the 40 seasons from 1970-2009.
Here they are, in chronological order from most recent to oldest.
