Five Random Cubs Cards

 I've got 21,073 Cubs cards from 316 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.


1900s - 1970s: 1970 Fleer World Series #7  The Cubs made their fourth series appearance in five years, but fell to the A's in five games.  It was the last hurrah for the Tinkers-Evers-Chance team.


1980s: 1989 Score #336 Damon Berryhill  He played in just 91 games due to shoulder issues.  He missed the first month of the season.  In August, a torn rotator cuff shelved him for the rest of the year.


1990s: 1992 Conlon #416 Larry French  French pitched in two World Series for the Cubs (1935 and 1938) and was an All-Star in 1940. He topped 15 wins four times and has the second highest WAR among all Cubs left-handed pitchers.


2000s: 2007 Bowman's Best #74 Felix Pie  This guy came with lots of hype but never delivered.


2010s: 2019 Allen and Ginter Mini #298 Ian Happ For some unknown reason, the pinstripes almost disappear in the picture.  I actually kinda like the look of the all white top.
