Baseball History (September 24)

Complete entry for September 24 at BaseballLibrary.com HERE.

The highlighted entry is pretty obvious today.

1984
Rick Sutcliffe pitches a 2-hitter in a 4–1 win over Pittsburgh to clinch the National League East title for the Cubs, who will be making their first post-season appearance since 1945. The win is Sutcliffe's 14th in a row. Sutcliffe strikes out nine Bucs, including Joe Orsulak for the final out.

I hurried home from football practice to watch every second of that game. Harry's "CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!" was so good to hear that night.

Little did I know that clinching game was setting me up for something horrible.
