End of an Era | 1969 Cubs, Episode 5

With just a 2.5 game lead in the division, the Cubs made another trip to New York to face the Mets. From a missed tag to a black cat to the lights going out at Shea Stadium, the Cubs perfect season began to unravel. But the 1969 team brought joy and hope to Cubs fans everywhere.

"We were so close you could reach out and touch it. Then all of the sudden, it slipped away. But everybody remembers the Chicago Cubs of 1969. They love those '69 Cubs." -Billy Williams
