Wednesday night trivia is always followed by hours of swapping baseball fun facts & oddities - like that game on Aug 29, 2005 the Cubs used 5 pitchers - all with a last name starting with W. Unfortunately they didn't fly a W that day.

As we while away the days, hours, and minutes until baseball returns…who is YOUR favorite obscure Cubs player?
Bonus points for including why.

(Steve) Stone leaves an enduring, indelible impression.
Steve Stone’s known to Windy City baseball fans as a straight shooter, an insightful and wise analyst whose commentary might occasionally rub a player or coach the wrong way, but who’s unwilling to sugarcoat poor effort or lousy outcomes—an approach that’s endeared him to generations of Chicagoans.
That honesty led to Stoney’s resignation from the Cubs broadcast team on this date in 2004, but he’s still going strong on the South Side, in his fifth decade behind the mic.

If you ever need good answers to this, go to the 2021 Chicago Cubs roster.
Tony Barnette, Erick Castillo (current Cubs bullpen catcher), Johneshwy Vargas, Jose Lobaton, Trent Giambrone, Taylor Gushue among the many great name drops.
