This Senate resolution formally commends the Chicago Cubs baseball team on the occasion of its 150th anniversary, marked on August 29, 2026. Introduced by Illinois Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth, the resolution recounts the team's long history since becoming a charter member of the National League in 1876, including its championship seasons, Hall of Fame players, iconic broadcasters, and the historic 2016 World Series win that ended a 108-year title drought. It also highlights Wrigley Field's status as a National Historic Landmark and the team's charitable contributions to Chicago-area youth and families. This is a symbolic, non-binding resolution with no funding or regulatory effect, and it does not impose any timeline or legal requirements—it simply expresses the Senate's recognition and praise for the team's history and impact on baseball and the city of Chicago.
