#OnThisDay in @chicagocubs history ▸ Cubs right-hander Carlos Zambrano becomes the first major league hurler to homer in eight consecutive seasons since 1970.  Zambrano’s two-run homer off Brian Burres comes in the fifth inning of the Northsiders's 14-2 rout of the @pirates at @wrigleyfield.

And he was not a 6 and out kind of guy: he had 158 career complete games, while also somehow averaging 3 saves a season. He did not have gaudy strikeout numbers, but he also did not walk a ton of batters either. Granted, these numbers…
