This Day in Baseball History
February 23, 2000
Cubs' manager Don Baylor names four captains including first baseman Mark Grace, right fielder Sammy Sosa, pitcher Kevin Tapani and reliever Rick Aguilera. The quartet will be the Cubs first captains since the 1960s and early 1970s when Ron Santo held the position.
Our hats are off to Baylor today as we remember this historic move. The quartet led the northsiders to a glorious 65-97 mark, leaving them 30 games behind the Central Division Champion Cardinals for the 2000 season.

I was expecting this column to update daily, but what can you expect from a blog with J Gans... mediocracy.
