Jon Lester: The Cubs' Championship Ace

Jon Lester pitched like a big-game ace for nearly two decades, and in Chicago he helped end the longest championship drought in sports. A three-time World Series champion and five-time All-Star, he built a career defined by toughness and October brilliance.

Lester won titles with the Red Sox in 2007 and 2013, threw a no-hitter in 2008, and finished with 200 career wins. Then he signed with the Cubs and became the ace of the 2016 team that finally won it all, ending a 108-year wait.

At Wrigley Field he is a legend, the steady hand who delivered a championship Cubs fans had waited generations for. His No. 34 is part of that history forever.

Now the Cubs are inducting him into the team Hall of Fame. You can honor him too with a Jon Lester plaque for your fan cave.
