The Curious Case Of Teddy Roosevelt
FanIQ Blog —
... about that here.
But here's the interesting thing, the race has been going on since mid-summer of July 2006 - I actually attended the inaugural race - and yet Teddy has never won. Not once.

"The Beginning" Has Ended
cobrabrigade.com 4/28/2008 — Let's hop into the time machine and go back to my April 7th post : I call this series, "The Beginning" because it's the beginning of a stretch of games for the Cubs against a relatively easy schedule. They have the Phillies at the end of this week but over the next three weeks they play the Pirates Reds three times, and the Nationals three times. This is where the Cubs should start pushing
