Complete entry for December 21 is at BaseballLibrary.com HERE.

Highlighted entries:
1960
Cubs owner
P.K. Wrigley says Chicago will have no manager, but will use a college of coaches.

There is a segment about the College of Coaches in the HBO Special about the Cubs called Wait 'til Next Year. Based on what team you root for that segment will make you laugh or cry. What is the college of coaches? you may ask. Wikipedia has an entry HERE.
1881
The Boston club meets and elects a new board of directors, who will retain Harry Wright as manager. The club reports an operating surplus of $75 on home attendance of around 35,000.

$75? That was a lot of money in 1881.
