Cambridge History Minute: The Last Time the Cubs Won the World Series...

... Cambridge streets still had trucks like this.

CAMBRIDGE, MA — This week, we're taking a look at the city about 108 years ago, when the Chicago Cubs last took home a victory in the World Series.

If anyone needed reminding that that win was a long, long time ago, look no further than this Cambridge Historical Society photo of an unidentified truck puttering down the city streets.

The picture was taken by an unknown photographer between 1905 and 1910, about the time the Cubbies last won it all, in 1908. It is part of the CHS Image Collection, used by Patch courtesy the Cambridge Historical Society.
