Geocache Description:

CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES!!! (Duh, it's a puzzle!)

Hey Chicago, Whaddaya say? The Cubs are gunna win today! This cache is a tribute to the baseball team I've stuck with through good times and bad since I was old enough to watch baseball -- the Chicago Cubs. Like all Cubs fans, I dream of seeing a World Series championship in my lifetime. Maybe next year, right?

To solve this puzzle, you'll have to use your googling skills to look up facts about some of my favorite Cubs players of all time. To add a small degree of difficulty, I've provided only the nicknames of the players. Once you solve the clues and plug in the numbers, you'll be taken to a ridiculously easy park and grab. You can literally park within 5 feet of the cache. I put the terrain as 1.5 since there is a curb. This is a seedling cache (#11) from CubsFanSean's cache, "The 12 days of Caching Series - The Twelfth Day". As always, watch out for muggles, bring your own pen, and have fun!
