Wrigley Charles Weber Charlie Grimm WGN(Bob Elson)WBBM(Pat Flanagan)WMAQ(Hal Totten)WIND(Russ Hodges) The 1935 Chicago Cubs season was the 64th season for the Chicago Cubs franchise, the 60th in the National League and the 20th at Wrigley Field. The season saw the Cubs finish with 100 wins for the first time in 25 years; they would not win 100 games in another season until 2016. The Cubs won their 14th National League pennant in team history and faced the Detroit Tigers in the World Series, but lost in six games. The 1935 season is largely remembered for the Cubs' 21-game winning streak. The streak began on September 4 with the Cubs 2.5 games out of first place. They would not lose again until September 28. The streak propelled the Cubs to the National League pennant. The 21-game winning streak tied the franchise and major league record set in 1880 when they were known as the Chicago White Stockings. Regular season Gabby Hartnett was the first National League catcher to win the MVP Award.Great Baseball Feats, Facts and Figures, 2008 Edition, p.152, David Nemec and Scott Flatow, A Signet Book, Penguin Group, New York, 978-0-451-22363-0 Season standings Chicago Cubs Record vs. opponents CHC Roster 1935 Chicago Cubs Roster Pitchers 18 Clay Bryant 16 Tex Carleton 21 Hugh Casey 14 Larry French 22 Roy Henshaw 23 Roy Joiner 24 Fabian Kowalik 15 Bill Lee 17 Charlie Root 23 Clyde Shoun 12 Lon Warneke Catchers  9 Gabby Hartnett 41 Ken O'Dea 42 Walter Stephenson Infielders 43 Phil Cavarretta  1 Woody English  8 Charlie Grimm 39 Stan Hack  2 Billy Herman 11 Billy Jurges Outfielders  3 Kiki Cuyler  6 Frank Demaree 51 Augie Galan  4 Chuck Klein  7 Freddie Lindstrom  5 Tuck Stainback Other batters 18 Johnny Gill Manager  8 Charlie Grimm Coaches 56 Red Corriden 61 Roy Johnson Player stats Batting Starters by position Note: Pos = Position; G = Games played; AB = At bats; H = Hits; Avg. = Batting average; HR = Home runs; RBI = Runs batted in Pos Player G AB H Avg.
