I got 148
Stynes, Andrews, and Nieves the only ones between 1998-2009 missed. Before that is a crapshoot for me to remember anyway, though I shamefully admit to missing both Dunston and Dawson.
Just say no to players named Aaron on the Cubs.
I missed Dawson...
… but managed to get Stynes and Andrews. How sad is that?

I got 102 out of 180
Not bad considering I am 25. I really didnt start following the Cubs until 96 or 97 and I was only 13 then. Went perfect for 02, 03, 07, 08. 09. Close on 98, 99, 04 and 05. Pre 98 though I missed a ton outside the big names.

I think Dawson should be forgiven because in my mind
he only played on the Cubs in 1989, I know that isn’t true, but that is how it works.
Also I can’t believe Maddux was only the opening day starter once, I thought he would be 1990 and 1991 too.
Just say no to players named Aaron on the Cubs.
I got like 140...
Only because halfway through I figured out you could just type in last names and it would pick it up… that got me from about 90-140 before I started drawing a blank.
143
How could I forget Benito Santiago behind the plate and Jim Bullinger making an opening day start? I’ll also admit to forgetting Fred McGriff and one of my favorite Cubs, Bill Mueller (if only he hadn’t shattered his kneecap in St. Louis…)

The nineties where in the height of my HS and College years so most of that decade is a blur.

1999, 2000 and 2001 were rally bad years for me. I forgot Morandini, Nieves, and Santiago

I can’t believe I blanked on Juan Pierre (I must have done a really good job of erasing that year from of my memory).
How about Damon Buford’s name appearing more than Greg Maddux’s?

Did well on the recent ones. The latest one I missed was Hollandsworth. I might have done better if I knew how to spell Grudz…..
