The Cubs are 10403-10254. They have made the playoffs 22 times and have 4 championships. Their high for wins in a season is 108 in 1962. The most losses they've had in a year is 97. For those who still groan in 2003 the Cubs finished 3rd that year with an 84-78 record.

Dawson: He ended up being not nearly as good in real life. He was a career .255 player with 196 home runs and 683 rbis. Also being 232-112 in steals. He made the all star team once. He played for the Cardinals, Indians, and Mariners

Sandberg: Ended up like Dawson, solid but not as good. He had a .269 career average with 194 home runs and 923 RBIs. He played with the Phillies, Braves, Mariners, and Mets.

Grace: He is the only hall of famer of the bunch. He had a career .304 average while hitting 144 home runs and driving 906. His peak year was when he hit .339 with the Phillies hitting 12 home runs but driving 123 in. Another interesting fact is he still has a 1 game hit streak going on.

Other famous IRL Cubs

Fergie Jenkins: Fergie went 296-222 in his career with a 3.10 ERA and 3126 strikeouts, a six-time all star and hall of famer. He played for the Angels, Tigers and Yankees

Ron Santo
He had a career .271 average with 305 home runs 1092 RBIS. He was a 7-time all star. 1-time MVP and 5 time gold glove winner. Santo played his entire career with the Phillies

Ernie Banks
Ended up being a bust. He was a career .256 hitter with 288 home runs and 891 RBIs. He was a 5 time all star and 1 time gold glove winner. Banks curiously only played for the Yankees and Red Sox so he was pretty loyal to the rivalry.
Billy Williams
He ended up being a very strong hitter with a .291 career average with 449 HRs and 1444 RBIS. He was able to be a 7-time all star. He played for the Braves his entire career.

Sammy Sosa
Sammy didn't hit as many home runs in real life but he did hit 464 long balls and drove in 1227 while hitting .285 lifetime. He was a 1 time MVP and a 3-time all star. Sosa played for the Braves Mets, Marlins, Pirates, Dodgers, and Angels.

Greg Maddux
Greg still won over 300 games with a 340-254 lifetime record. He was a 6 time all star and a 2-time cy young winner. He played with the White Sox, Phillies, Pirates, and Cardinals
