The 1906 Chicago Cubs season was the 35th season of the Chicago Cubs franchise, the 31st in the National League and the 14th at West Side Park. Skippered by player-manager Frank Chance, the Cubs won the National League pennant with a record of 116–36, a full 20 games ahead of the second-place New York Giants. The team's .763 winning percentage, with two ties in their 154-game season,[1][2] is the highest in modern MLB history. The 2001 Seattle Mariners also won 116 games, but they did that in 162 games, resulting in a .716 winning percentage.
The 1906 Cubs are often considered the greatest MLB team to not win the World Series.[3] In a major upset, the Cubs were beaten by their crosstown counterparts Chicago White Sox in that year's World Series.
