The town of Chicago was founded in 1833 and named by the French Canadians in their pronounciation and spelling of an Algonquian word. It is either the Fox tribe's word for "place of wild onion" or the Ojibwa tribe's word for "skunk". Either way, it has been recorded that wild onion, chives and garlic grew in the area and the Chicago River was named for the plants and their fragrance. Then the city that was built on the river was called by the same name.

There are many places to find cheap Chicago bulls tickets. Private venders might sell them cheap or if you can catch someone who can't make it they are usually willing to sell them cheap so they won't lose money on them. If that doesn't work then online methods work just as well.

The Cubs won the World Series in both 1907 and 1908 against the Detroit Tigers.

Here's the all-time list as of the start of the 2008 season:

Through the 2009 season, the Chicago White Sox have won 3 World Series - 1906, 1917, 2005.

They began life in 1898 as the Chicago Orphans. I know they changed that to another name before they became known as the Chicago White Stockings.

Two hours prior to first pitch.

There are many places online where one would be able to purchase Chicago Cubs merchandise. One of the top sellers of their merchandise is SportsWorldChicago.

The highest amount of runs the Cubs have scored in one game is 36. This occurred in 1897 against Louisville, who no longer fields a team.

The value depends a great deal on the condition of the signatures, who signed the ball, the condition of the ball, whether or not the ball is an official national league ball or some other type, and several other factors. According to the collector's price guide "Team Baseballs," your ball is worth $500, but this value can be greater or lower depending on players present - in particular the inclusion of Hall of Famers Kiki Cuyler, Gabby Hartnett and Billy Herman - plus the all-important overall condition of the ball and autographs. Other key factors include type of ball (is it an "Official National League" ball?), whether there are any "clubhouse signatures" (autographs signed by ballboys, attendants, etc), and number of signatures present. Player autograph were often signed by clubhouse attendants, so authenticity of the significant signatures is still the main factor in determining overall value.

The Mets and Dodgers played seven games in the 2008 season with the Mets winning 4 times and the Dodgers winning 3 times.

MLB switched from two division per league to three divisions per league in 1994. The Cubs went from the East Division to the Central Division.

The Chicago Cubs have won just two World Series Titles. 1907 and 1908. They won a major league record 116 games in 1906 and were heavily favored to win it all that year but they lost the World Series to the Chicago White Sox 4 games to 2.

The 2010 baseball season marks the 102nd anniversary of their last World Series Championship. It is the longest drought in ALL of Sports History.

5. (2 in the East and 3 in the Central)

The 2010 season marks the 102nd anniversary of the last Cubs World Series Championship. This is the longest such drought for an individual franchise in all of sports.

Yes. The Cubs have been in 10 World Series, winning 2 and losing 8. In 1907 and 1908 they beat the Detroit Tigers. The losses have been: 1) 1906 to the Chicago White Sox
2) 1910 to the Philadelphia Athletics
3) 1918 to the Boston Red Sox
4) 1929 to the Philadelphia Athletics
5) 1932 to the New York Yankees
6) 1935 to the Detroit Tigers
7) 1938 to the New York Yankees
8) 1945 to the Detroit Tigers nope those are the only times they won but they did go to 7 more world series which they lost to the following opponets: 1910- Philladelphia Athletics 4 games to 1
1918- Boston Red Sox 4 games to 2

kingyankee? You forgot 1906 when the Cubs lost to the White Sox. 1906 was the year the Cubs won 116 games, a record that stood for 95 years until the Seattle Mariners tied it in 2001.

Construction of "Cubs Park" (later - in 1926 - to be known as Wrigley Field), at 1060 West Addison Street in Chicago IL began in 1914.

The FIRST Wrigley Field was in Los Angeles CA, and home to the Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific Coast (minor) League. It was built in 1925. A lot of famous baseball movies were filmed there, because of its close proximity to Hollywood. TV's Home Run Derby was also filmed there.

84-56 I think they have won 92 games and lost 67 games against the Cleveland Cavaliers Franchise.

as of the 2010 season, the White Sox lead the all time record (since interleague play began) with 37 wins to the Cubs 35 wins.

The White Sox won the Interleague Series against the Cubs in 2010 by 4 games-to-2 so after the 2010 season, the White Sox lead in the series 41 Wins to 37 wins
