Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually. As such, we are delighted to present our pre-2026 revision of our top 50 Chicago Cubs.
As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following:
1. Duration and Impact.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the Major League Baseball.
3. Advanced Statistics.
4. Playoff performance.
5. Their respective legacy on the team.
6. How successful the team was when he was there.
7. Respecting the era in which they played.
Criteria 1-4 will make up the lion’s share of the algorithm. Please note that we have implemented this for the first time. This has changed the rankings all throughout the board.
Last year, the Cubs won 92 Games and went to the playoffs, though they fell to the Milwaukee Brewers in five Games in the Wild Card Series. As the team is over 100 years old but laden with young players, there were no new entrants and no movement among players who played at Wrigley last year.
As always, we present our top five, which saw a slight change.
1. Cap Anson
2. Ernie Banks
3. Ryne Sandberg
4. Ron Santo
5. Billy Williams
You can find the entire list https://www.notinhalloffame.com/baseball/top-50-baseball-players-by-franchise/top-50-chicago-cubs">here.
The new algorithm has led us to revise the list, with the most notable change in the top five, where Ernie Banks and Ryne Sandberg flipped spots.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
