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 1987 that Eric Show hit Andre Dawson in the face in the third inning after homering against Show in the first inning. Rick Sutcliffe and the #Cubs bench came running after Show. Once Andre Dawson regained consciousness, he went after Show, who had to leave the game for his own safety. Dawson, suffered cuts on his left-upper lip and a bruise on his left-lower cheekbone and he received 24 stitches inside and outside the mouth. Greg Maddux retaliated by beaning Benito Santiago and got ejected.

It was #OTD in 2014 that Addison Russell was traded to the Chicago Cubs in a blockbuster deal with the Oakland Athletics. The Cubs sent pitchers Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel to Oakland in exchange for Russell, outfielder Billy McKinney, and pitcher Dan Straily. Samardzija was the ace of the Cubs staff, but Addison Russell would become a vital part of the Cubs championship run. In 2016, he hit 20 home runs, drove in 95 runs, was named an All-Star, and delivered a historic grand slam in Game 6 of the World Series. 🎥-Knoxville News Sentinel

It was #OTD in 2003 that Reds pitcher Paul Wilson made the mistake of charging the mound against Kyle Farnsworth. Wilson charged the mound following an inside pitch while attempting a sac bunt. Wilson began jawing at Kyle Farnsworth before suddenly charging the pitcher's mound. Farnsworth quickly dropped his glove and executed the perfect takedown tackle, landing several punches and leaving Wilson a bloody mess!

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 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
