I thought this was pretty cool. Today's NYTimes crossword has the following clues:
17 across: 1908 Cubs player and position
25 across: 1908 Cubs player and position
43 across: 1908 Cubs player and position
57 across: What 17-, 25-, and 43-across were, famously.
Here's what it looks like complete!

Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.

Eh, the fact that there were clues about Cubs players is secondary...
Snrub just wanted to show off to everybody that he completed a NY Times crossword puzzle… ;-)
