I was just thinking about the last few Cubs managers. Did the Cubs make the playoffs in each of the last two managers first seasons? I think that 1998 was Don Baylor's first season when the Cubs won the Wild Card and 2003 was Dusty Baker's first season when the Cubs won the Central. Can someon confirm that to me? Hopefully if I'm right, it's a sign of things to come with Lou in his first season.

The Cubs went to the playoffs in 98 under Jim Riggleman and it was his 4th season as Cubs manager. Baylor didn't take over until 2000.

Thanks for the reply. I forgot about Riggleman.
