Chicago Cubs All-Time Greats
The eight greatest to ever wear the Cubbie blue - from Mr. Cub to the team that finally ended 108 years.
The Cubs went 108 years between titles, the longest drought in sports, until the 2016 club won a Game 7 for the ages and set Chicago free. From Ernie Banks to the ivy at Wrigley, these are the eight greatest ever to wear the Cubbie blue.

Ernie Banks
Mr. Cub is the most beloved player in franchise history, a two-time MVP who hit 512 home runs with unfailing joy. His famous line, Let's play two, captured the spirit of Wrigley Field forever.
Ryne Sandberg
The 1984 MVP redefined the second base position with power, speed, and nine Gold Gloves. Ryno was the face of the Cubs through the 1980s and one of the finest all-around players of his time.
Ron Santo
A nine-time All-Star and five-time Gold Glove winner, Santo was the emotional heart of the 1960s Cubs. He later became a beloved broadcaster, and his number is retired at Wrigley Field.
Billy Williams
Sweet-swinging Billy Williams won Rookie of the Year and played 1,117 consecutive games for the Cubs. He collected 426 home runs and a batting title with one of the smoothest strokes the game has seen.

Andre Dawson
The Hawk won the 1987 MVP for the Cubs despite the team finishing last, a testament to his dominance. A rare blend of power, speed, and a cannon arm, he thrilled the Wrigley bleachers.

Greg Maddux
The Professor won the first of his four straight Cy Young Awards as a Cub in 1992. A master of control and guile, he is regarded as one of the smartest pitchers who ever lived.
