#OnThisDay in @chicagocubs history ▸ Cubs right-hander Carlos Zambrano becomes the first major league hurler to homer in eight consecutive seasons since 1970. Zambrano’s two-run homer off Brian Burres comes in the fifth inning of the Northsiders's 14-2 rout of the @pirates at @wrigleyfield.
He would go on to hit two dingers in 2011 and one in 2012 (for the @marlins) bringing his streak to 10 seasons. The only other pitchers who have had at least one home run in that many or more consecutive years are Warren Spahn (17, 1946-62) and Dizzy Trout (11, 1942-52).
