Cubs become second MLB franchise with 11,000 wins

The Chicago Cubs become only the second franchise in MLB history with 11,000 wins last night, August 24th, when they beat the Detroit Tigers 9-3. The Cubs got their first victory in 1876.

The Giants are the only franchise that has more than 11,000 wins, with 11,179, after beginning in New York in 1883 and later moving to San Francisco.  However, the Dodgers, who started in Brooklyn and then moved to Los Angeles, are almost at the 11,000 wins threshold, currently at 10,996.
