The Cubs were 47-47 at the break and six games back in the wild-card race. They went 41-27 the rest of the way and won the NL Central, thanks largely to a trade with the Pirates that brought Ramirez (15 homers) and Kenny Lofton (.381 OBP) to Wrigley Field. Before Ramirez arrived, the Cubs had used 97 different third basemen since 1973.
