Jody Davis c 1981-1988
Sammy Sosa of 1992-2004
Kerry Wood p 1998-2008
Some may wonder why Bob Buhl is on the list. He probably doesn't match up well with some of the other pitchers on the list but there is something special to me about him. Any player that takes the time to come out to my first little league game of the season and speak to the 9-12 years olds like myself at the time is going to make my favorites list.
Ryan Dempster p 2004-Present
Ron Santo 3b 1960-1973
Rick Sutcliffe p 1984-1991
Jim Hickman of 1968-1973
Listed below are a collection of Chicago Cubs players I have assembled that represent players that I have rooted for and have followed over the years. There isn't any particular order and there may be someone I have left off and a few that someone may wonder why they are on the list. That's ok,
http://www.mein-blog.net/entry.php?w...02&e_id=291466, it's my list. Any Cub fan can make a list.
Bob Dernier cf 1984-1987
Bill Buckner 1b 1977-1984
Greg Maddux p 1986-1992 2004-2006
Billy Williams of 1959-1974
I included Sammy Sosa but had second thoughts. He put up some big numbers and was a fan favorite for many years. But the way he finished his career by leaving the last game early and the cloud hanging over his head regarding steroid use and let's not forget the corked bat had a simmering effect on his time with the Cubs. You don't see his number being mentioned to be retired and his election to the Hall of fame will be in doubt.

Randy Hundley c 1966-1973 1976-1977
There are 33 players on the list but there is no special reason for that number. The length of time the player was with the Cubs had a bearing but I didn't make it a rule in that regard. Just the longer they were just meant I had a longer time to see them play.
Don Cardwell p 1960-1962
Mark Grace 1b 1988-2000
Bob Buhl p 1962-1966
I didn't try to pick positions. I was not trying to make a All Star team.

Most of the players made the list for obvious reasons. Some are just personal choices because I liked watching them play and somewhere along the way they did do something special.
Ryne Sandberg 2b 1982-1997
Milt Pappas p 1970-1973
Ferguson Jenkings p 1966-1973 1982-1983
Ken Hotlzman p 1965-1971 1978-1979
Don Kessinger ss 1964-1975
I watched Don Caldwell pitch a no hitter on WGN along with Milt Pappas and Ken Holtzman. Jim Hickman hit some memorable game breaking home runs. Dave Kingman hit some monsters. Some were part of teams that went to the playoffs. The 1969 team was a special team even though they crashed and burned.
