Forty-eight years ago today, on 17th July 1961, RHP Ed Reulbach, last surviving member of the Cubs' last World Series champion team of 1908, died in Glens Falls, New York, age 78.
...yes, it's been that long.
(Also died that very same day - Ty Cobb, whose Tigers that year would be the last team to lose to the Cubs in a World Series.)
