<v Speaker 1>Hello, and welcome to the Stupid Histrue Minute. I'm your host,

2
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:11.199
<v Speaker 1>Kept Pound. Today we're talking about the Chicago Cubs. The

3
00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:14.679
<v Speaker 1>Chicago Cubs are one of baseball's oldest franchises and one

4
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:18.679
<v Speaker 1>of its most lovable heartbreaks. The team was founded in

5
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:21.800
<v Speaker 1>eighteen seventy six as the Chicago White Stockings, making it

6
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:25.559
<v Speaker 1>one of the oldest clubs in professional baseball. They officially

7
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>became the Cubs in nineteen oh three. After winning back

8
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>to back World Series titles in nineteen oh seven and

9
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>nineteen oh eight, the Cubs endured a championship drought that

10
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>lasted get this, one hundred and eight years, fueled by

11
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:43.880
<v Speaker 1>legends like the Curse of the Billy Goat and one

12
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:48.280
<v Speaker 1>unlucky fan named Steve Bartman. In twenty sixteen, the Cubs

13
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:51.640
<v Speaker 1>finally wanted all, though, proving that sometimes history just takes

14
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>a little longer than expected. This has been the Stupid
