Today the blog becomes a moody teenager. The first post went live 13 year ago today, on December 30, 2008.
I had 2,991 Cubs cards on that date. Today I have 19,695. I've been a busy boy. I've also written 4,771 posts. Again, I've been a busy boy!
Just twelve players have worn #13 for the Cubs. They are Claude Passeau (1939-47), Hal Manders (1946), Bill Faul (1965-66), Turk Wendell (1993-97), Jeff Fassero (2001-02), Rey Ordonez (2004), Neifi Perez (2004-06), Will Ohman (2006-07), Andres Blanco (2009), Starlin Castro (2010-15), Alex Avila (2017), David Bote (2018-21). Below are cards for nine of the twelve.
