CUBS TEAM HISTORY

The Pontiac Cubs were established in 2000.  The team was created and managed by Mike Dawson its first two years of play.  In the first two years the Cubs established themselves as one of the better teams in the Pontiac Class 'A' Oakland Division lead by their solid pitching staff.  However, in 2002 Mike turned over the on-field duties to Jim Kosmerick as the Cubs merged with a number of former Oakland Raiders players.  This made the Cubs one of the top two teams in the league as they finished second in the regular season each of the next two seasons and won the playoffs each year.  However, in both those years the Cubs lost in the Best of Five Championship to the Parkers.  In 2004 control was once again turned back over to Mike and the Cubs once again won the playoffs but again lost to the Parkers in the Best of Five Series.  In 2005 the Cubs got to the playoff championship game needing to win two against the Parkers and ended up losing the second game to end their season.  2006 the Cubs finished in third place and ended their season in the Semi-Finals of the playoffs against the Red Sox.  The 2007 season was a season of a great start and a disappointing finish.  The Cubs started 12-0 but finished 7-5 and got knocked out of the playoffs in two games.  In 2008 the Cubs moved to a new league for the first time in their history.  The Cubs played in the St. Clair Shors (SCS) MABL wood bat league.  The 2008 season followed much of the same path as the 2007 though.  The team started out with a 9-2-1 record before finishing the regular season in second place with a 22-7-3 record.  Then like 2007 the team lost their first two playoff games and were done for the year.

Through the 2008 season the Cubs have an all-time record of 173-89-5 (including playoffs) in the Pontiac Class 'A' League and the SCS MABL league, for an all-time .648 winning percentage.
