The Chicago Cubs are a Major League Baseball team based in Chicago, Illinois. Along with the Atlanta Braves, they are the only founding members of the National League that are still playing in that league. They currently play in the National League's Central Division. The Cubs have been based in Chicago since their inception as the Chicago White Stockings in 1869, founded in response to the success of the all-professional Cincinatti Red Stockings.
The Chicago Cubs have played in venerable Wrigley Field since 1914, although the stadium had held previous names before 1926. Previously, they played in Municipal Stadium.
The team is currently managed by Lou Piniella.
Ever since the Boston Red Sox broke their "curse" with their 2004 championship win, the Cubs are considered the most cursed team in professional sports.
Rivals: Atlanta Braves, Florida Marlins and Cincinnati Reds.
