They are members and currently the back-to-back champions of the Central Division of Major League Baseball's National League. They are one of two Major League clubs based in Chicago, (the other being the White Sox) and they are one of the two remaining charter members of N.L. (the other being the Atlanta Braves). The franchise's 100-year title drought is the longest of any major North American professional sports teams.[1][2]
The Cubs are often referred as "The North Siders" because Wrigley Field, where they have played their home games since 1916, is located in Chicago's north side Lakeview community. They are also often called The Boys in Blue noting the team's primary uniform color, (which itself is often referred to as "Cubbie Blue") or simply as "The Cubbies."[3]
Chicago's manager is currently Lou Piniella (MLB's current Manager of the Year), and their general manager is Jim Hendry. In December 2007, Sam Zell completed his purchase of the club's parent organization, Tribune Company, and announced his intention to sell the team.[4]
