Know Your Cubbies
This player played for the cubs from 2013-2017. He was apart of the historic 2016 team, and made some pitching history of his own just one year prior. He also had the best beard in town.
Jake Arrieta
Arguably the biggest duel sport athlete to have success in both leagues. This football and baseball player had a CANNON of an arm, spider man ran up walls and could break wooden bats over his helmet. He hit over 20 home runs a year for the royals from 1987-1990. He also played a lick for the White Sox.
Bo Jackson
The son is most notable for his MLB record 762 Home Runs and 7 MVPs but his dad is forgotten for how good he truly was. Both initials are BB... fitting for the son's MLB All time record in walks and intentional walks.
Bobby and Barry Bonds
This player was a cub from 2016-2022. He peaked in his career before he came over to our team. Although he wasn't your most fantastic hitting cub, he famously brought the locker room to life with his amazing speech in game 7 of the world series during the rain delay.
Jason Heyward
This player once played a football game on Sunday and then a World Series baseball game on Monday. Better known for football but was a speedy player for the Atlanta Braves, the same city he was playing football in. He is also a notable College Football Coach.
Deion Sanders
One was an MVP winner in 2004 and turning his 16 year career into the Hall of Fame, he son is one of the most feared sluggers today, coming close to an MVP in 2021 and closer to a World Series ring just last year.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Sr.
Was a cub from 2004-2012. Although he only made one all star game with the team, he was a consistent part of the cubs pitching staff. He started in the bullpen before transitioning into a starter where he made over 30 starts every year from 2008-2011. He has also appeared on the marquee coverage of the cubs from time to time.
Ryan Dempster
This MLB Hall of Famer was also drafted in the NBA and the NFL but chose baseball over the other 2. He was a primary right fielder mostly for the Yankees and Padres putting together a staggering 465 HR from 1973-1995. 12 time all star, 7 time GG, and a 1992 World Series Champion with the Blue Jays. Initials are DW.
Dave Winfield
Both known for their power as they both ended their respected careers with 319 Home Runs. The son was a notable Brewer who got 3rd place in MVP voting with his 50 HR in 2007. His father had back to back MVP runner up seasons in 1990 and 1991 with the Tigers slugging 95 HR in just those two years combined.
Cecil and Prince Fielder
This cub only lasted in the league for 5 years, playing for the team from 2002-2006. He put up 7.4 WAR in 2003 and taking home bronze honors in the NL Cy Young Race. Injuries derailed his career as a whole. He is now the pitching coach for the LA Dodgers.
Mark Prior
Another Atlanta Falcon to be mentioned, this player turned away from his football career to pursue his MLB career. 33 WAR over 15 years in the league. 7 WAR for the 1998 Cardinals with his 66 Extra Base hits. Initials BJ.
Brian Jordan
"The Kid" and his father both played on the SAME team in 1990. The ladder went on to be one of the most notable sluggers of all time. An iconic swing for an iconic player. They share the same name.
Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr.
Primary Cubs Centerfielder from 2000-2005. He had 70 home runs in his tenor. Like every good centerfielder he stole some bags and had some pop in his bat, hitting 63 extra base hits in 2004 alone. His initials are CP.
Corey Patterson
Michael Jordan.
The dad holds an MLB record for being the only player to hit 2 Grand Slams in 1 inning. His son is an all star right fielder who was notably popped for PEDs in 2021. The White Sox mistakenly traded the son away in one of the worst trades of all time. Flashy player, Latin.
Fernando Tatis Sr. and Jr.
