Lore & Background
After winning back-to-back World Series in 1907 and 1908, the Cubs fell six games out of first place in 1909, a season some historians attribute to the absence of catcher Johnny Kling, who left to play professional pocket billiards. Kling returned in 1910, and the Cubs won the pennant again, but lost the World Series to the Philadelphia Athletics.
