Chicago Cubs Tickets
The Chicago Cubs, one of Chicago's two professional baseball teams, were one of the first baseball clubs in the National League. Playing at Wrigley Field since 1916, the Cubs are affectionately known as "The North Siders," "The Boys in Blue," or "The Cubbies." Chicago Cubs tickets are available now.
Chicago Cubs Once Called White Stockings
Beginning as the Chicago White Stockings in 1870, the Cubs belonged to the National Association. Teams back then decided to join the league with the purpose of beating the Cincinnati Red Stockings. It was custom that teams based their name based on their team colors and it just so happened that the Chicago Baseball Club (as they were called back then) chose white as their official team color.
Cubs Bring Youth to Team
In 1902, a local newspaper gave the Cubs their name due to the fact that many young players were now joining the team, a trend that the manager of the team started. The Cubs became the official name in 1907. During 1903-1912, hall-of-famers Joe Tinkers, Johnny Evers, and Frank Chance combined in the infield to make the Cubs one of the most dominant infielders in the league. Their accomplishments were immortalized in the famous poem "Baseball's Sad Lexicon": Tinkers to Evers to Chance
