Writing About the Chicago Cubs and Looking at the Team’s Past

April 17, 1907 at Exposition Park
Cubs 6, Pirates 2 (3-0)
Frank Schulte hit an inside the park homeruns and he went two for five in the Cubs latest win in what was the Pirates’ home opener. Solly Hofman also had a solid game at the plate. He went two for five with a double and two runs.
Jack Taylor gave up his share of hits but most of them were singles and he picked up the win. He gave up two runs on ten hits and two walks with one strikout.
In sort of an odd promotion, Schulte won an upholstered chair for hitting his homerun, the first one in Pittsburgh that year. A local furniture store ran the promotion and it looks like it was open to the road team as well.
