And so the streak begins c. 1909
Of course, in the fall of 1909 no one really knew it was a streak, but the headline is telling for those of us around 100 years later:
CUBS LOSE LAST CHANCE FOR PENNANT
As mentioned before (half tounge-in-cheek) when the Cubs let their 1908 World Series flag fly away upon being displayed, the baseball gods were none-to-pleased.
Still aren't evidently.
