Cubs Make History Against Cardinals on Fourth of July originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Cubs are 52–35 and in sole possession of first place in the NL Central as they head into a weekend divisional series with the St. Louis Cardinals.

In their history, the Chicago Cubs have had three players hit three home runs in a game against the rival St. Louis Cardinals. All three of those games have been played on the 4th of July. The odds of that are infinitesimal.
