1900s - 1970s: 1977 Topps #639 Jerry Morales This picture gives a fairly decent look at Morales' batting stance. He held his bat up fairly high. We had fun imitating him.

Five Random Cubs Cards
I've got 14,442 Cubs cards from 109 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.
1900s - 1970s: 1977 Topps #639 Jerry Morales This picture gives a fairly decent look at Morales' batting stance. He held his bat up fairly high. We had fun imitating him.
1980s: 1984 Topps Stickers Carmelo Martinez The stickers must have had a pretty early printing deadline. The Cubs traded Martinez to the Padres on December 7, 1983, so he never suited up for the '84 Cubs.
1990s: 1993 Fleer #22 Chuck McElroy The '93 season was the lefty's final with the Cubs. He posted a record of 2-2 with an ERA of 4.56.
2000s: 2002 Bowman #21 Billy Petrick A third round pick of the Cubs in 2002, Petrick finally made it to the majors in 2007. His MLB career consisted of 8 relief appearances.
2010s: 2010 Heritage #27 Mike Fontenot He was traded to the Giants in August of 2010 and won a World Series ring. The 2010 Cubs finished in fifth place. A definite upgrade for him.
