The Curse of Wrigley Field

April 17, 1908 at The Palace of the Fans
Cubs 1, Reds 0  (3-0)

The Cubs finished a three game sweep in their season opening series over the Reds with a dramatic 1-0 win.  Ed Reulbach got into trouble in the first inning and he pitched out of it and from then on, Chick Fraser proceeded to shut down the Reds over the final eight frames.

Frank Chance was the hitting star in the win.  He was not only one of three Cubs to pick up three hits but he also scored the lone run of the game for either side.
