Podcasts about cultivating catuli

Thanks for downloading this, the 600th episode of The Ivy Envy Podcast.  Michael from Galesburg (and the Cultivating Catuli podcast) joins us to review the predictions we made on the 2018 Chicago Cubs.  

This episode is a sample of our side podcast, Cultivating Catuli.  Listen as we talk about the failed experiment the Cubs tried in the 1960's, the College of Coaches. 

On this episode of Cultivating Catuli, you're going to learn about the original Mr. Cub, Phil Cavarretta.  

In this episode of Cultivating Catuli, you will hear about the history of artificial turf at Wrigley Field.  

On this episode of Cultivating Catuli, Michael talks about the flags that fly at Wrigley Field. 

Despite playing in just 123 games over the course of five seasons, Bill Schuster held a significant distinction for decades.  Bill Schuster was the last Cubs player to score a run in a World Series game in which the Cubs won, until 2016.  As a pinch-runner, Schuster scored the walk-off run in the 12th inning of Game #6 in the 1945 World Series.   In this episode of Cultivating Catuli, we share some of Schuster's antics from his years in the Pacific Coast League.  If you miss Andy's Rube Waddell stories on the Ivy Envy Podcast, you may get a kick of Mr. Bill Schuster.  

On this episode of Cultivating Catuli, Michael talks with us about Charlie Grimm.  "Jolly Cholly" managed the Cubs from 1932-1938, 1944-1949, and 1960.  

On the fourth episode of Cultivating Catuli, we talk about what is probably considered the most lopsided trade in the history of Major League Baseball, if not all of American professional sports.  In June of 1964, the Cubs traded Lou Brom for Ernie Broglio.  In this episode, you'll hear why the Cubs made that trade, how it was received at the time, and how things turned out.  Lou Brock became a Hall of Famer and Ernie Broglio was a below replacement level player and within a few years, his career was done.    

On this episode of Cultivating Catuli, we look at one of the most memorable Cubs games in history, The Ryne Sandberg Game.   The Cubs hosted their rivals, the St. Louis Cardinals on June 23rd, 1984, and the game was broadcast nationally as the NBC Game of the Week.  1984 was Ryne Sandberg's breakout year, and this was his breakout game.  Listen to learn more about his 5-6 2HR 7 RBI performance. 

On the 2nd episode of Cultivating Catuli, Michael points out that Joe Buck and others that covered the 2016 World Series between the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians missed a great opportunity to talk about something both clubs had in common, Bill Veeck.    

Thanks for downloading the first episode of Cultivating Catuli.  The idea for this podcast started as three friends that are Cubs fans rode on an Amtrak train, heading to a celebration in Grant Park, just hours after the Chicago Cubs became 2016 World Series Champions.   A listener of The Ivy Envy Podcast suggested to Corey that the podcast does more to educate newer Cubs fans on the history of the Cubs.  Michael from Galesburg, of The Awesome 80s Podcast, saw Cultivating Catuli as a solution.   On this podcast, you will hear stories of players, games, occurrences, and more.  In this first episode, we start with an iconic piece of Cubs history, the Wrigley Field Marquee.
