Name That Cub

Sunday Name That Cub

Perhaps when next week begins, there will be some actual Cubs trades or signings to discuss. The winter meetings are just a week away.

Until then, let's have another go at naming a Cub. There are clues here, but I won't give them away.

Friday Name That Cub

It's a slow weekend for baseball news... so let's play Name That Cub today.

I especially like the expression on this lefthander's face.

Name This Cub

It's been a pretty slow weekend for Cubs news, so let's play "Name That Cub." No clues here; even the uniform won't really give it away, since it's the same uniform the Cubs still wear as we enter 2011. This Cubs pitcher -- OK, so it's obvious he's a pitcher -- is pretty obscure.

No prizes for this -- just for fun.

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...
