The White Stockings quickly established themselves as one of the new league's top teams.

After the game of September 2, the Cubs record was 84–52 with the Mets in second place at 77–55. But then a losing streak began just as a Mets winning streak was beginning. The Cubs lost the final game of a series at Cincinnati, then came home to play the resurgent Pittsburgh Pirates (who would finish in third place). After losing the first two games by scores of 9–2 and 13–4, the Cubs led going into the ninth inning. A win would be a positive springboard since the Cubs were to play a crucial series with the Mets the next day. But Willie Stargell drilled a two-out, two-strike pitch from the Cubs' ace reliever, Phil Regan, onto Sheffield Avenue to tie the score in the top of the ninth. The Cubs would lose 7–5 in extra innings.[6] Burdened by a four-game losing streak, the Cubs traveled to Shea Stadium for a short two-game set. The Mets won both games, and the Cubs left New York with a record of 84–58 just 1⁄2 game in front. More of the same followed in Philadelphia, as a 99 loss Phillies team nonetheless defeated the Cubs twice, to extend Chicago's losing streak to eight games. In a key play in the second game, on September 11, Cubs starter Dick Selma threw a surprise pickoff attempt to third baseman Ron Santo, who was nowhere near the bag or the ball. Selma's throwing error opened the gates to a Phillies rally. After that second Philly loss, the Cubs were 84–60 and the Mets had pulled ahead at 85–57. The Mets would not look back. The Cubs' eight-game losing streak finally ended the next day in St. Louis, but the Mets were in the midst of a ten-game winning streak, and the Cubs, wilting from team fatigue, generally deteriorated in all phases of the game.[1] The Mets (who had lost a record 120 games 7 years earlier), would go on to win the World Series. The Cubs, despite a respectable 92–70 record, would be remembered for having lost a remarkable 17½ games in the standings to the Mets in the last quarter of the season. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="1977–1979:_June_Swoon"><span id="1977.E2.80.931979:_June_Swoon"></span>1977–1979: June Swoon</h4></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/1977_Chicago_Cubs_season" title="1977 Chicago Cubs season">1977 Chicago Cubs season</a></div> <p>Following the 1969 season, the club posted winning records for the next few seasons, but no playoff action.

Following the "Daily Double", Matthews, Durham, Cey, Moreland and Davis gave the Cubs an order with no gaps to pitch around. Sutcliffe anchored a strong top-to-bottom rotation, and Smith was one of the top closers in the game. </p><p>The shift in the Cubs' fortunes was characterized June 23 on the <a href="/wiki/Major_League_Baseball_on_NBC" title="Major League Baseball on NBC">"NBC Saturday Game of the Week"</a> contest against the St. Louis Cardinals; it has since been dubbed simply "<a href="/wiki/The_Sandberg_Game" class="mw-redirect" title="The Sandberg Game">The Sandberg Game</a>". With the nation watching and Wrigley Field packed, Sandberg emerged as a superstar with not one, but two game-tying home runs against Cardinals closer <a href="/wiki/Bruce_Sutter" title="Bruce Sutter">Bruce Sutter</a>. With his shots in the 9th and 10th innings, Wrigley Field erupted and Sandberg set the stage for a comeback win that cemented the Cubs as the team to beat in the East. No one would catch them. </p><p>In early August the Cubs swept the Mets in a 4-game home series that further distanced them from the pack. An infamous Keith Moreland-<a href="/wiki/Ed_Lynch_(baseball)" title="Ed Lynch (baseball)">Ed Lynch</a> fight erupted after Lynch hit Moreland with a pitch, perhaps forgetting Moreland was once a linebacker at the University of Texas. It was the second game of a doubleheader and the Cubs had won the first game in part due to a three-run home run by Moreland. After the bench-clearing fight, the Cubs won the second game, and the sweep put the Cubs at 68–45. </p><p>In 1984, each league had two divisions, East and West. The divisional winners met in a best-of-5 series to advance to the World Series, in a "2–3" format, first two games were played at the home of the team who did not have home-field advantage. Then the last three games were played at the home of the team, with home-field advantage. Thus the first two games were played at Wrigley Field and the next three at the home of their opponents, San Diego. A common and unfounded myth is that since Wrigley Field did not have lights at that time the National League decided to give the home field advantage to the winner of the NL West. In fact, home-field advantage had rotated between the winners of the East and West since 1969 when the league expanded. In even-numbered years, the NL West had home-field advantage. In odd-numbered years, the NL East had home-field advantage. Since the NL East winners had had home-field advantage in 1983, the NL West winners were entitled to it. </p><p>The confusion may stem from the fact that Major League Baseball did decide that, should the Cubs make it to the World Series, the American League winner would have home-field advantage. At the time home field advantage was rotated between each league. Odd-numbered years the AL had home-field advantage. Even-numbered years the NL had home-field advantage. In the 1982 World Series the St. Louis Cardinals of the NL had home-field advantage. In the 1983 World Series the Baltimore Orioles of the AL had home-field advantage. </p><p>In the <a href="/wiki/1984_National_League_Championship_Series" title="1984 National League Championship Series">NLCS</a>, the Cubs easily won the first two games at Wrigley Field against the <a href="/wiki/1984_San_Diego_Padres_season" title="1984 San Diego Padres season">San Diego Padres</a>.

With wins of 13–0 and 4–2, the Cubs needed to win only one game of the next three in San Diego to make it to the World Series. After being beaten in Game 3 7–1, the Cubs lost Game 4 when Smith, with the game tied 5–5, allowed a game-winning home run to Garvey in the bottom of the ninth inning. In Game 5 the Cubs took a 3–0 lead into the 6th inning, and a 3–2 lead into the seventh with Sutcliffe (who won the <a href="/wiki/Cy_Young_Award" title="Cy Young Award">Cy Young Award</a> that year) still on the mound. Then, Leon Durham had a sharp grounder go under his glove. This critical error helped the Padres win the game 6–3, with a 4-run 7th inning and keep Chicago out of the <a href="/wiki/1984_World_Series" title="1984 World Series">1984 World Series</a> against the <a href="/wiki/Detroit_Tigers" title="Detroit Tigers">Detroit Tigers</a>.

The Cubs also shared the park with the <a href="/wiki/Chicago_Bears" title="Chicago Bears">Chicago Bears</a> of the NFL for 50 years. The ballpark includes a manual scoreboard, ivy-covered brick walls, and relatively small dimensions. </p><p>Located in Chicago's <a href="/wiki/Lake_View,_Chicago" title="Lake View, Chicago">Lake View</a> neighborhood, Wrigley Field sits on an irregular block bounded by Clark and Addison Streets and Waveland and Sheffield Avenues. The area surrounding the ballpark is typically referred to as Wrigleyville. There is a dense collection of sports bars and restaurants in the area, most with baseball-inspired themes, including Sluggers, Murphy's Bleachers and <a href="/wiki/The_Cubby_Bear" title="The Cubby Bear">The Cubby Bear</a>. Many of the apartment buildings surrounding Wrigley Field on Waveland and Sheffield Avenues have built bleachers on their <a href="/wiki/Wrigley_Rooftops" title="Wrigley Rooftops">rooftops</a> for fans to view games and other sell space for advertisement. One building on Sheffield Avenue has a sign atop its roof which says "Eamus Catuli!" which roughly translates into <a href="/wiki/Latin" title="Latin">Latin</a> as "Let's Go Cubs!" and another chronicles the years since the last Division title, National League pennant, and World Series championship. On game days, many residents rent out their yards and driveways to people looking for parking spots. The uniqueness of the neighborhood itself has ingrained itself into the culture of the Chicago Cubs as well as the Wrigleyville neighborhood, and has led to being used for concerts and other sporting events, such as the 2010 <a href="/wiki/NHL_Winter_Classic" title="NHL Winter Classic">NHL Winter Classic</a> between the <a href="/wiki/Chicago_Blackhawks" title="Chicago Blackhawks">Chicago Blackhawks</a> and <a href="/wiki/Detroit_Red_Wings" title="Detroit Red Wings">Detroit Red Wings</a>, as well as a 2010 <a href="/wiki/NCAA" class="mw-redirect" title="NCAA">NCAA</a> men's football game between the <a href="/wiki/Northwestern_Wildcats" title="Northwestern Wildcats">Northwestern Wildcats</a> and <a href="/wiki/Illinois_Fighting_Illini" title="Illinois Fighting Illini">Illinois Fighting Illini</a>. </p><p>In 2013, Tom Ricketts and team president Crane Kenney unveiled plans for a five-year, $575 million privately funded renovation of Wrigley Field.<sup id="cite_ref-109" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-109"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>109<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-110" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-110"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>110<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Called the 1060 Project, the proposed plans included vast improvements to the stadium's facade, infrastructure, restrooms, concourses, suites, <a href="/wiki/Press_box" title="Press box">press box</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bullpen" title="Bullpen">bullpens</a>, and clubhouses, as well as a 6,000-square-foot (560 m<sup>2</sup>) <a href="/wiki/Jumbotron" title="Jumbotron">jumbotron</a> to be added in the left field bleachers, <a href="/wiki/Batting_cage" title="Batting cage">batting tunnels</a>, a 3,000-square-foot (280 m<sup>2</sup>) video board in right field, and, eventually, an adjacent hotel, plaza, and office-retail complex.<sup id="cite_ref-111" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-111"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>111<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In previous years mostly all efforts to conduct any large-scale renovations to the field had been opposed by the city, former mayor <a href="/wiki/Richard_M._Daley" title="Richard M.

Wrigley and the 1937 bleacher/scoreboard reconstruction, and prior to modern media saturation, a flag with either a "W" or an "L" has flown from atop the scoreboard masthead, indicating the day's result(s) when baseball was played at Wrigley. In case of a split <a href="/wiki/Doubleheader_(baseball)" title="Doubleheader (baseball)">doubleheader</a>, both the "W" and "L" flags are flown. </p><p>Past Cubs media guides show that originally the flags were blue with a white "W" and white with a blue "L". In 1978, consistent with the dominant colors of the flags, blue and white lights were mounted atop the scoreboard, denoting "win" and "loss" respectively for the benefit of nighttime passers-by. </p><p>The flags were replaced by 1990, the first year in which the Cubs media guide reports the switch to the now-familiar colors of the flags: White with blue "W" and blue with white "L". In addition to needing to replace the worn-out flags, by then the retired numbers of Banks and Williams were flying on the foul poles, as white with blue numbers; so the "good" flag was switched to match that scheme. </p><p>This long-established tradition has evolved to fans carrying the white-with-blue-W flags to both home and away games, and displaying them after a Cub win. The flags are known as the <a href="/wiki/Cubs_Win_Flag" title="Cubs Win Flag">Cubs Win Flag</a>. The flags have become more and more popular each season since 1998, and are now even sold as T-shirts with the same layout.

Switching to pullovers in 1972, the Cubs' road uniform remained gray, but the chest numbers were moved to the middle before returning to the left side the following year. This was then changed to a powder blue base in 1976, added pinstripes in 1978, and added player names the following year.

The sleeve patches also changed, originally with both the primary logo and the "angry cub" alternate before removing the former and changing to the "cute cub" patch in the mid-1990s. A blue alternate uniform returned in 1994, also incorporating the script "Cubs" wordmark in red minus the chest numbers and incorporated the "cute cub" sleeve patch.

Six years later, it began again with the Cubs Walk of Fame, which enshrined nine until it was paused in 1998. As such, every member of those exhibits was inducted into the new Hall of Fame alongside the five most recent Cubs to enter the National Baseball Hall of Fame (Sutter, Dawson, Santo, Maddux, Smith). The 2021 class inducted one new member with <a href="/wiki/Women_in_baseball" title="Women in baseball">Margaret Donahue</a> (team corporate/executive secretary and vice president) to make 56 names inducted as the inaugural members of the Hall.<sup id="cite_ref-158" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-158"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>158<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-159" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-159"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>159<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Two stipulations were put for induction: at least five years as a Cub and significant contributions done as a member of the Cubs.
