Mission Statement

Every Friday the JOBC staff scours the internet to bring you Cubs-related video and audio you might not have seen or heard before.

This is the week of the famous Ryne Sandberg game from 1984, so we've been reminiscing about that fabulous season. Here are a few samples...













The Cubbie Bear in 1984



VIDEO: Studs Terkel in 1984 talking about the good old days...when the Cubs stunk



The Cubs themselves even got into the act that year. A few of them went into the studio and recorded these songs. The stars of the record are Jody Davis, Leon Durham, Keith Moreland, Gary Woods, and Rick Sutcliffe.

AUDIO: "Here's to You: Men in Blue" By Davis, Durham, Moreland, Woods & Sutcliffe

Here's a few others recorded about the Cubs that year...

AUDIO: "Jody, Jody Davis" by The Bleacher Boys

AUDIO: Cubbie Blue ('84) by Danny Long

AUDIO: "After 39 years" by John Frigo Orchestra & Chorus

If you have any Cubs songs you've written or discovered, let us know and we'll feature it on a future episode of "Sights & Sounds." E-mail our editor-in-chief Rick Kaempfer at rick@justonebadcentury.com

JOBC reader Ted Norstrom is scheduled to appear this morning on Jonathon Brandmeier's show on WLUP, and among the songs he may perform (time permitting) is this song he wrote, inspired by our website. He calls it "Just One Bad Century"
