1903 ~ Chicago's National League baseball team, which had previously been known as the White Stockings, Colts, Cowboys, Broncos, Rainmakers, and Orphans, is referred to as the Cubs by Fred Hayner and George Rice of the Chicago Daily News, because of the number of young players on the team. The paper even created a logo, as the name would stick.

Confucius say, "He who masturbate into cash register come into money."

An optimist looks at the glass and says it's half full. A pessimist looks at the glass and says it's half empty. A Cubs fan looks at the glass and says, "When's it gonna spill?"
