The Chicago Cubs are part of the Major League Baseball's National League and are a part of the Central Division. Since 1916, the Chicago Cubs play its home games at Wrigley Field.

There are two Major League baseball teams that call Chicago home. The other team is the Chicago White Sox. The Chicago Cubs are also one of the only two remaining charter teams left in the National League (the other original charter team being the Atlanta Braves). Chicago people and media people usually refer to the cubs as The North Siders. They are called the North Siders because Wrigley Field is located in Chicago's North Side Lakeview community.

The Chicago Cubs also known as "The Cubbies," are also known as The Lovable Losers. The Lovable Losers name came along because of their significant nation wide fan base despite ninety-nine years without winning the World Series Championship.
