Chicago Cubs
Originally formed as an amateur team less than a decade after the Civil War (1874), the Chicago Cubs joined the National League for its initial season in 1876. They were originally known as the Chicago White Stockings and they were also later known as the Colts and Orphans but for the 1902 season they had changed their name to the Cubs.

What does the expression seventh inning stretch mean?
The Seventh-Inning Stretch is a tradition in Baseball that takes place between the halves of the seventh inning of any game. Fans generally stand up and stretch out their arms, legs, necks, backs, calves, fingers, elbows, and other muscles and sometimes walk around. It is a popular time to get a late-inning snack as well; many teams end beer sales at this point. The stretch also serves as a short break for the players.

Wrigley, Addison, Clark, Harry ( if you don't know why I would pick this name then you shouldn't be a cubs fan), Lou,
Yes. When the Decatur Staleys of the NFL moved to Chicago in 1921, they played their home games at Cubs Park (now known as Wrigley Field). George Halas renamed the team to Bears in 1922 as a tribute to the Cubs. Legend has it his reason for choosing Bears as the new nickname was that if baseball players were Cubs, since football players were larger, football players were Bears.
The Chicago Cubs never won a world seires, but the played in the world series when Eriene Banks was on the cubs (lost to the Red Sox)

Focus ON Children Scott and Karen Banks why did they dump Auriel Banks?
did alot of horrible things to alot of innocent people. The very worst of what they did was to the children of Romainia that they brought to the U. S. A. They were said they adopted them. What they did to these innocent children is undenialble the very worst. They took two of them after they had been in their home for 9 years to Samoa, basically abandoned them, no contact, no letters, no money. A very quick good bye at the airport. Wow, lets talk about the shock that these two 9 year olds must have felt, the emptyness, the reality that the Scott and Karen Banks was not their "forever" family, but more like the family who did not want them anymore. The Third child from Romainia that Karen Banks brought home from Romainia, trying to make the Mormon quota, was sent down to South Fork, Utah, left in a group home to fend for himself, see this innocent child had C.P. and the Banks got tired of him too.
