The1935 Chicago Cubs season was the 64th season for theChicago Cubs franchise, the 60th in theNational League and the 20th atWrigley Field. The season saw the Cubs finish with 100 wins for the first time in 25 years; they would not win 100 games in another season until2016. The Cubs won their 14th National League pennant in team history and faced theDetroit Tigers in theWorld Series, but lost in six games.
The 1935 season is largely remembered for the Cubs' 21-game winning streak. The streak began on September 4 with the Cubs 2.5 games out of first place. They would not lose again until September 28. The streak propelled the Cubs to the National League pennant. The 21-game winning streak tied the franchise and major league record set in 1880 when they were known as the Chicago White Stockings.
Gabby Hartnett was the firstNational League catcher to win the MVP Award.[1]
