Some of the worst baseball trades in history went in the Cubs' favor, and
the Phillies were the dupes. In the winter of 1964-65 the Phillies gave the
Cubs a rookie pitcher named Ferguson Jenkins for Bob Buhl and Larry Jackson.
Ouch! Another Phils/Cub trade that backfired (or fore-fired depending on
which team you support) was one involving Larry Bowa for Ivan DeJesus.
Included in the deal was a young second basemen named Ryne Sandberg, a
player that both teams viewed as a throw-in. Double ouch!
