So, I really got into this whole thing about figuring out who the Chicago Cubs’ MVPs were. You know, just a casual deep dive into baseball history, as one does on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I’ve always been a bit of a stats nerd, and the Cubs, well, they’ve got a history as long as my arm.
First off, I started by grabbing all the data I could find online about the Cubs. It felt like I was opening a treasure chest. Their official site, some fan pages, you name it. I was just soaking it all in. There were names I recognized, and some that were from way before my time. It’s kinda crazy to think about how much the team has been through over the years.
Then, I decided to really focus on those MVP winners. I mean, these are the guys who really shone, right? The best of the best. So, I made this huge list and started filtering out everyone who hadn’t won the MVP award. It was like panning for gold. And let me tell you, the list got a lot shorter, but way more interesting.
- Kris Bryant, that was a name that immediately popped up. I remember watching him play. What a legend!
- Then there were these older names, like, way older. It’s wild to think about these guys playing in, like, the early 1900s. The game was so different back then.
I spent hours just going through each player, reading their stories, looking at their stats. It’s more than just numbers, you know? It’s about their impact on the team, their leadership, the whole shebang. And the Cubs have had some real heavy hitters, not just literally, but, you know, figuratively, too. They’ve won the World Series three times, which is pretty awesome: 1907, 1908, and then much later in 2016. Each of those victories has its own MVP story, its heroes.
What really got me was how some of these players’ stories are kinda bittersweet. Like, there’s this guy, Sammy Sosa, who was huge, but things got complicated. It makes you think about how complex sports can be, beyond just the game itself.
And, not gonna lie, I got a bit sidetracked looking at other cool stuff, too. Like, who won the most games for the Cubs ever? Stuff like that. But the MVP thing, that was the main quest. I even checked out this site, something like “Baseball-reference,” that had a full list of all the MVP winners in the whole league. Super handy.
By the end of it, I felt like I had a pretty good handle on who these Cubs MVP winners were. It wasn’t just about listing names; it was about understanding a part of the team’s soul, you know? It’s like each MVP left a mark, a story that’s still being told. And, I don’t know, it just made me appreciate the game and the team a whole lot more.
So yeah, that was my little adventure into the world of Cubs MVPs. Kinda nerdy, but hey, it was fun. And it’s pretty cool to know all this stuff now. Makes watching the games even better.
