Michael Busch is doing things we've only rarely seen from a Cubs first baseman

Posted Jul 17, 2025
The Chicago Cubs have a rich history of great first basemen playing at Wrigley Field, from the legendary Cap Anson, to Mr. Cub himself, Ernie Banks, in his later years. It took a minute for the team to find a successor to their last great player at the position, the captain of the 2016 team, Anthony Rizzo, but Michael Busch is now filling that role admirably.
