Five Random Cubs Cards

I've got 20,005 Cubs cards from 301 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.


1900s - 1970s: 1961 Fleer Lou Boudreau  Lou managed the Cubs for just part of one year, 1960.  He had been doing color on Cubs radio, but after 17 games, the manager Charlie Grimm and Boudreau switched spots.  It didn't go well and he was back in the booth in 1961.



1980s: 1985 Donruss #564 Richie Hebner  I like the way that the Cubs logo on the card almost matches up with the Cubs logo on his jersey.


1990s: 1991 Topps #614 Luis Salazar  Today we'd have to do a video replay and see if the runner was trying to avoid Salazar.  I prefer the good old days when a shortstop was fair game.


2000s: 2004 Greats of the Game Forever #12 Ron Santo  I really like the 2004 Greats of the Game set. Even the inserts, like this one, look great.


2010s: 2012 Topps #427 Rafael Dolis  Here's a card of another of the long run of Topps-touted rookies that didn't pan out.
