It was #OTD in 2007 that Lou Pinella was ejected from a game for the first time as #Cubs manager. It was Lou’s first year managing the team and the Cubs started the season with a disappointing 22-30 record. The Cubs were trailing 4-3 after blowing a three-run lead and it looked like they would lose their sixth straight game. With no outs, Angel Pagan, the tying run, was at second base. Braves pitcher Rafael Soriano threw a ball in the dirt, Pagan ran to third, but catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia picked the ball on a hop and gunned it to third and Pagan was called out. Piniella then stormed out of the dugout to argue the call to argue with third base umpire Mark Wegner. Lou kicked dirt on Wegner’s shoes, screamed in his face, and kicked his hat multiple times as he was ejected. The Cubs lost the game 5-3 and Lou was suspended for four games.

It was #OTD in 2001 that one of the craziest #Cubs game occurred. Down 2-1 in the 6th inning, Ron Coomer was called out by home plate umpire Angel Hernandez trying to score on a wild pitch. During the 7th inning stretch, Steve McMichael would “have some speaks” with Hernandez and became the first stretch singer to be ejected. With the game tied in the 9th, Ricky Gutierrez scored on one of the wildest walkoffs you’ve ever seen

It was #OTD in 2016 that the #Cubs beat the Dodgers 8-4 in one of the greatest games I’ve ever attended. The defense was phenomenal, Javy Baéz stole home, and the Cubs were leading 3-1 in the 8th. The Dodgers scored two to tie in the 8th, but the Cubs loaded the bases in the bottom of the inning, and pinch hitter Miguel Montero hit a grand slam that caused Wrigley Field to shake! Dexter Fowler hit a forgotten solo home run right after that and the Cubs won this one 8-4

ESPN Sports Center made a tremendous video of the #Cubs Ring Ceremony, which was held 8 years ago today. This is the rare extended version. I still talk to 10 out of the the other 20 ring bearers. We are bonded for life. Love that they played Eddie Vedder song at the end of this. Watch the whole video and you will have tears in your eyes

It was #OTD in 2003 that a shouting match erupted in the dugouts between Dusty Baker and Tony LaRussa. The #Cubs and Cardinals were in the middle of a 5 game series at Wrigley Field. The Cardinals came into the series in 1st place, the Astros in 2nd a game behind, and the Cubs in 3rd, 2 1/2 games back. In the 4th game with the Cubs down 2-0, Cardinal pitcher dan haren hit Cubs starter Matt Clement. Benches were warned and that’s when both managers began shouting at each other. The Cubs were down 6-0 in the 6th, but thu would comeback and win this one 8-7! The Cubs would take 4 out of 5 games, jump into 2nd place, and the Cardinals would finish out of the playoff picture. Great call by Chip Caray and Steve Stone

What if I told you 17 minutes of rain would wash away 108 years of drought? As OBVIOUS SHIRTS® says, the greatest game ever played was on a Wednesday in Cleveland. It was #OTD that the #Cubs beat the Indians 8-7 in extra innings to finally win the World Series!

It was #OTD in 2016 the #Cubs clinched the National League Central Division title after the St. Louis Cardinals lost to the San Francisco Giants, despite the Cubs losing their own game to the Milwaukee Brewers earlier that day. This marked their first division title since 2008. The Cubs celebrated the next day, September 16th, with a 5-4 walkoff win even though nearly all the regulars had the day off!

It was #OTD in 2017 that the #Cubs raised their World Series banner during the Wrigley opener against the Dodgers. Each player from the team took turns raising the banner before they came out of the right field doors with Rizzo holding the trophy in the air before handing it to owner Tom Ricketts at the pitching mound, all while AC/DC’s Long Way To The Top was blasting out of the speakers! Were you at this game? If so, show me your pics from that special night!

It was #OTD in 2012 that the #Cubs acquired first baseman Anthony Rizzo, along with right-hander Zach Cates, from the San Diego Padres for pitcher Andrew Cashner and outfielder Kyung-Min Na. Rizzo player for the Cubs from 2012–2021, was a three-time All-Star, a World Series champion, won a Silver Slugger award and Roberto Clemente Award, and caught the final out to end the World Series drought. 🎥-Cubs Productions

It was #OTD in 1976 that Rick Monday, playing center field for the #Cubs, saved the American flag from being burned on the field by two protesters at Dodgers Stadium. Rick Monday, who served six years in the Marine Corps Reserves, realized what was happening, he rushed the arsonists, and snatched the flag away from them. When Monday came to bat an inning later, the Dodger Stadium scoreboard flashed the message: “Rick Monday…You made a great play.”
