The Chicago Cubs are a Major League Baseball team that competes in the NL Central Division. The Cubs have had 60 managers since their beginning as the White Stockings in 1876. They have won the National League pennant five times and the World Series once in 1908. The Cubs have played their home games at Wrigley Field, located on North Clark Street in Chicago, Illinois, since 1914. The current manager of the Chicago Cubs is Joe Maddon who took over after the season ended last year. He has managed the Tampa Bay Rays previously and is one of the most popular managers in baseball today. Joe Maddon was hired by Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer of the Cubs front office to replace Dale Sveum who was fired at the end of the 2013 season. Before becoming a manager, Joe Maddon coached for the Cubs organization for ten years. He first joined the team as a third base coach in 2005 when Bruce Bochy was still managing the San Francisco Giants. In 2010, Maddon became the Cubs pitching coach when Phil Rogers died during spring training. In this role, he helped guide pitchers Jason Hammel, Jeff Samardzija, John Lackey, and Ryan Dempster develop into top-flight pitchers.
