Tinker, Evers, and Chance
Joe B. Tinker (1880–1948), Johnny Evers (1881–1947), and Frank Chance (1876–1924) were the feared infielder double-play-wielding trio of the Chicago Cubs. In his book Tinker, Evers, and Chance: A Triple Biography, author Gil Bogen mentions this tune while describing the heady aftermath of the Cubs' second straight world championship in 1908: "Tinker, Evers, and Chance had become household words. They were in the news from coast to coast. The song that Johnny and Joe had signed their name to had become a smash hit. Everyone was singing ‘Between You and Me.'" |
