Answer: Dwight Smith

 Dwight was an invaluable pinch hitter off a very flexible cub bench.
2. Which hard-working Cubs player had a devoted group of fans put up a 'blank-o-meter' to track his sometimes skimpy batting average?

 Shawon is my favorite player of all time, and his 'Shawon-o-meter' was a fixture in the bleachers for several years.

 This smarmy fellow has since moved on, thankfully for us Cub fans.

 A fixture in right field, 'Awesome' Dawson had several productive seasons for the cubs after moving from Montreal, where the artificial turf took an exacting toll on his old knees.
5. This former first round draft choice had a brief call-up in September of 2000, when he showed flashes of his tantalizing potential. What's his name?

 Hopefully management will realize that the brilliant fielding of Gary Mathews Jr. is no substitute for the offensive potential of the young talent Patterson.
6. It is well known that the Cubs stole Sammy Sosa away from the White Sox in an-early 90s trade. Who did they give up to get this tremendous star?

 Bell had an okay year for the Sox, before fading away into oblivion. Sosa showed speedy ability at the top of the order before developing his renowned display of power.

 The tornado tossed a no-hitter in his first start of the 2001 season. I sure wish we had kept him!
10. This notorious low ball hitter struck out frequently and seldom walked during his Cubs' career. He made up for his inconsistent bat with some amazing defensive plays. What's his name?

Answer: Shawon Dunston

 He is my all-time favorite ballplayer, and I consider him to be the true 'Mr. Cub,' both in his frustrating play and remarkable resemblance to that cute little mammal.
