This is a commemorative resolution honoring the Chicago Cubs baseball team as it marks its 150th anniversary on August 29, 2026. The resolution celebrates the Cubs' history as a charter member of the National League since 1876, including major achievements such as winning the 2016 World Series after a 108-year championship drought and maintaining a record of 116 wins set in 1906. The resolution highlights notable players and broadcasters who have been part of Cubs history, as well as the team's home at Wrigley Field, which has been the second-oldest active ballpark in Major League Baseball since 1916. It also recognizes the Cubs' charitable contributions, noting that Cubs Charities has donated over $51 million since 2009 to support youth sports and families in Chicago and Illinois. This resolution does not authorize any spending or create any legal obligations; it simply expresses the House's recognition and appreciation of the team's contributions to baseball and the Chicago community.
