Gene Baker into the DM Register Hall of Fame
Gene Baker was the 2nd black player to play for the cubs by a few days. He was a double play partner of Ernie Banks. He went on to play for the Pirates when they won the '60 world series and was also the first black manager of a minor league team. Nice read about a former Cub player.

blows monkey chunks.
I saw you in that coffee shop, breaking the fifth commandment. Congress passes these things for a reason, Lois.
I apologize
for this comment – unnecessary, uncalled for, and inappropriate. I let my celebration of todays ICubs game go to far and it showed on my recent postings with this one being the icing on the cake.
