Chicago Cubs Madness has come to the semi-finals

As we continue on through this new abnormal without baseball or any other sports in the foreseeable future, here’s our Chicago Cubs March Madness semifinal matchups.

Without any semblance of Chicago Cubs sports or normality in American society currently, it’s hard to be excited about the prospects surrounding much of anything right now. That being said, we’re here to keep you entertained and add some happiness to your day.

What better way to do such a thing than to give you a little bit of Cubs baseball history and a tie in to the best tournament of the year? March Madness. Even though it’s now well into April.

Regardless of your knowledge of the Chicago Cubs, this is an opportunity to get to know some of the greatest Cubs of all time. Their eras, their stats, and what kind of players they were. It’s also a way to pit modern versus old school players in an attempt to settle who is the GOAT in Cubs history.

When designing the first brackets, the parameters were pretty simple. Using career bWAR for all players, the bWAR is a total amount of bWAR garnered during a Chicago Cubs. Note that some of the players would be much higher if their career bWAR with different teams were used, but that may or may not come into play when we start having these players square off against each other to determine how they advance through the bracket.

With the semifinal matchups of the Cubs tournament upon us, all four players left are Chicago and MLB legends who need no introductions.
