I've got 18,467 Cubs cards from 257 different brands listed on a spreadsheet. A random number generator picked five cards, one each from the past several decades.
1900s - 1970s: 1952 Topps #324 Warren Hacker Today's first card come from Topps' first set. Hacker had the best year of his 12 year career in 1952. He posted a record of 15-9 with an ERA of 2.58.1980s: 1985 Fleer #64 Dick Ruthven Ruthven was the Cubs #5 starter in 1985. There was a time during the season when all five starters were on the disabled list. Ruthven made just 20 starts over the season.
1990s: 1993 Donruss #186 Sammy Sosab Donruss gives us a nice action shot of skinny Sammy.
It's a rough year when all five of your starting rotation hit the DL at some point in the season.
