This week in 1908, 1945

Every weekend JOBC goes back in time to the last year the Cubs won the World Series (1908) and the NL Pennant (1945).

This week in 1908, the Titanic design is approved, Henry Ford is working on creating the Model T, and a Giants player steals second base, and then as a joke, steals first again on the next pitch.

This week in 1945, the French put their Vichy government on trial for treason, the Allies agree to drop the bomb if the Japanese don't surrender soon, and the Cubs are in first place, 21 games over .500.
