Here's the team from the 1970 Topps card.
When a franchise celebates a team from the past, they may invite members of that team to a game and honor them with a pre-game ceremony. Or maybe there will be a video tribute shown on the scoreboard.
The 2019 Cubs went a different direction. They decided to be the 1969 Cubs by having an absolutely awful September. The '69 team played .333 ball after August. This year's Cubs are nearly as bad, playing at a .375 pace.
I wished that they would have just gone with a video tribute.
As a life long White Sox fan even I'm speechless as to the Cubs collapse. I do remember my White Sox Dad gloating the Cups collapsing back in 1969 too.....
