The Chicago Cubs are a Major League Baseball team that plays in the North Side Central Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois and are in the Central Division of the National League. The Chicago White Stockings were formed in 1871. The Chicagoans went on to have some great seasons in the 1880s, starting with 1880 when they won 67 and lost 17, for an all-time record .798 winning percentage. The Chicago Cubs are the only team to play continuously in the same city since the formation of the National League in 1876. The Chicago Cubs record of 116 victories in 1906, in a 154-game season, has not been broken, though it was tied by the Seattle Mariners in 2001, in a 162-game season. The Chicago Cubs have the longest dry spell between championships in all of the four major U.S. sports leagues, having failed to win a World Series since 1908. What may be the least known, but possibly the most telling, statistic of futility for the Chicago Cubs, though, is that their first back-to-back winning seasons since 1973 came in 2003 and 2004. Nonetheless, they remain one of the best-loved and best-attended teams in the league, with attendance figures consistently in the top 10, despite the 3rd smallest stadium in the MLB.
