A few weeks ago we posted a tribute to the 1960s Left Field Bleacher Bums, which has gotten tremendous response. If you liked that video (created by Jack Herbon), you'll love the two other videos he has posted at YouTube. One is entitled "One Hundred Years of Tears" and the other is called "Left Field Bleacher Bums, Part 2".
Also, congrats to Just One Bad Century reader Ted Norstrom on the release of his CD, "Believe it, Achieve it." Every song on the CD is about the Cubs, including a song inspired by this website called "Just One Bad Century." (AUDIO) Check out the entire album here: www.musicforcubsfans.com
And finally, this week in 1955, the most famous musical about baseball, "Damn Yankees" debuted on Broadway. Since that doesn't tie-in to the Cubs, we wanted to show you what Wrigley Field looked like when Damn Yankees was playing on Broadway. This awesome video shot by the WGN-TV crew was posted on the Tribune website on Opening day: Opening Day, Wrigley Field 1955. The Cubs beat the Cardinals that day 14-4.
Tuesday is the 10 year anniversary of Kerry Wood striking out 20 batters in a game. Here's a little audio to remember that magical day
