History

Historical Context

After the Cubs captured back-to-back titles in 1908—its last World Series win for 108 years—the franchise posted winning seasons in 1967-68 but fell to the “Miracle Mets,” who posted a 100-win 1969 campaign and won the World Series. The June 25 2026 4-3 Cubs victory over New York on the field revives that century-long rivalry.
