Name That Cub
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?

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.

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!

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.

Wednesday Name That Cub
Rather than just pick random names off baseball-reference.com, try to think about who this might be. There's more than one clue in the photo.
