September 23, 1930 – CHICAGO, IL – The Chicago Cubs’ World Series dreams have evaporated, and with it, the managerial career of Joe McCarthy. The team’s owner, William Wrigley, has made the shocking announcement that McCarthy will be replaced by none other than Rogers Hornsby, a veteran infielder and local legend. The move comes on the heels of a disastrous road trip, where the Cubs suffered 13 defeats in 22 games, effectively sealing their fate in the National League pennant race.
