Program Description
Event Details
This presentation will explore the raucous culture underlying the early 20th century Cubs, winners of four National League pennants in five years. Their frequent brawling and hard-nose identity reflected everyday life for early 20th century Chicagoans - a time in which city street toughs roamed the streets carrying billy clubs and blackjacks, and vice was so extensive that Chicago was considered the “sin city” of the day.
