Home Runs and Heart: Inside the Legends and Legacy of the South Bend Cubs

For us South Bend locals, the South Bend Cubs aren't just a baseball team – they're a part of our community's fabric. Let's take a stroll down memory lane and celebrate the rich history of our beloved team.

Our Roots and Affiliation:
Back in '88, South Bend was buzzing with excitement as we welcomed our very own Midwest League franchise. We cheered on proudly as they sported the White Sox colors, and later, as the Silver Hawks, paying homage to our city's automotive heritage. And when they joined forces with the Cubs in 2015, it felt like a homecoming – a nod to our deep ties with Chicago and a new chapter in our baseball journey.

Home Field Pride:
Four Winds Field at Coveleski Stadium isn't just a ballpark – it's our second home. Named after the legendary Stanley Coveleski, it's where we've laughed, cried, and celebrated countless victories. From the crack of the bat to the roar of the crowd, every game is a reminder of the bond we share with our team and our city.

Ownership and Community Commitment:
We've witnessed firsthand the dedication of Andrew T. Berlin, whose passion for our team and our city shines through his investments in the stadium and surrounding areas. The addition of The Ivy at Berlin Place not only enhanced our skyline but also symbolized Berlin's unwavering commitment to South Bend.

Triumphs on the Diamond:
Through highs and lows, our South Bend Cubs have always made us proud. From clinching championships to overcoming adversity, they embody the grit and spirit of our community. And when they brought home the Midwest League Championship in 2022, it was more than just a victory – it was a testament to our resilience and unwavering support.

Awards and Accolades: 
We've watched with pride as our team earned recognition on the national stage. From setting attendance records to winning the John H. Johnson President's Award, the South Bend Cubs continue to shine as a beacon of excellence in the Minor League Baseball community.

Mascots and Memories: 
Who could forget the antics of Stu D. Baker and Swoop the Silverhawk? They're more than just mascots – they're a reminder of the joy and camaraderie that comes with being a South Bend Cubs fan.

As we reflect on the journey of our South Bend Cubs, one thing remains clear – they're not just a team; they're a symbol of our city's spirit and resilience. So here's to many more years of cheering them on, through thick and thin. Go Cubs Go!
