A Pitcher for the back-to-back World Series Championship teams in 1907 and 1908, Ed Reulbach was the beneficiary of playing for some potent Cubs teams.  It certainly didn't hurt his winning percentage as he would lead the National League three years in a row in that category (1906-08), and he had at least 17 Wins in his first five years.  The success of his team didn't mean that he didn't help his cause as he had an ERA under 2.00 in four of those years, all of which were good enough for a top six finish.  Reulbach would also lead the NL in H/9 in 1905 and 1906.

As a Cub, Reulbach would win 136 Games with a 2.24 ERA, and was inducted into the Cubs Hall of Fame as part of the first class in 2021.
