What Do These Players Have in Common?

 

 

Do you know what these five players have in common (besides playing for the Cubs at one time in their career)?

The answer can be found on the backs of their cards.






Check out where they were born...they were all born in Germany.

And why does that matter?  

Tomorrow, Mrs. WW and I are heading to Germany.  No, we are not riding our bikes there!  We're flying to Berlin to visit WW Jr., who is a student and Humboldt University in Berlin.  We plan to visit sites in Berlin and also take day trips by train to other parts of Germany.  I don't anticipate seeing anything Cubs-related, but who knows.  I always am on the lookout for baseball stuff.

  1. Interesting fact - I hope Topps continues to put biographical info on cards. Panini does not list anything any more for in that regards.

    Have a fun trip

  2. Sounds like a good time will be in order. Maybe you can teach those Germans a thing or two about baseball while you're over there :)
