Name That Cub

Name This Old-Time Cub

There are clues in this photo

Name This Old Cub

No, this isn't about Ron Santo.

Last year, we did an occasional series of "Name That Cub", where you had to identify a Cubs player from the past from an old photo. It was fun, but in general, too easy -- because most of the photos I used were from the last three or four decades.

I'm upping the ante. Since it's a non-newsy baseball weekend, let's try Cubs from the black-and-white era.

No prizes for this; just for fun. And no clues, either.

Saturday Name That Cub

Let's interrupt our steroid discussion for a bit. Name this old-time Cub. As usual, a $10 gift card from Distant Replays to the first person with the correct ID. (Previous winners not eligible) Don't you love those old-style posed photos where the pitcher doesn't even have a ball in his glove?

Who am I?

Friday Name That Cub

Here's a little different twist on the Name That Cub idea.

The Little Leaguer in the second row, second from the right (of the four players pictured, not including the coaches in that row) is someone who would wear a Cub uniform many years after this photo was taken.

But who is it? Thanks to BCB reader bison for the photo.

Another $10 gift card from Distant Replays to the first to identify this future Cub.

Who is this future Cub?

Thursday Name That Cub

While we wait for the 2009 Cubs to report tomorrow (at least, the pitchers & catchers), name this Cub from the past. Clue: this one's about as obscure as it gets.

One change in this game: previous winners are ineligible to win again until 30 days have passed... this is to give a chance to others. Thanks!

Obscurity, thy name is...

Saturday Name That Cub

Many of the recent posts in this series have been from the 1960's. Your only clue to this one is that it's not from that decade.

A $10 gift card from Distant Replays to the first person with the right answer.

Who am I?

Name That Cub... With A Twist

BCB reader Al Spangler sent me this photo... yes, there is a Cub pictured in it. Name both of these people and win a $10 gift card from Distant Replays.

A Cub... and friend

OT: Baseball alive at old Tiger Stadium site
I have to admit, i didn't expect this to work, and i generally don't condone ratting somebody out, but i think Woo Woo inspires special circumstances. 

He was a few rows above me and a group of maybe a hundred other University of Iowa alumni last night, and started right in with the wooing early and loud. Between innings, he was... how shall i say this... creeping around? We all know his reputation. 

Within 10 minutes of making a complaint to the Cubs text line, he was gone. Might be worth trying in future instances.

Sorry for the crappy picture quality... just got a new phone (HTC EVO) and am not sure how to take screen caps yet.
