The Cubs became an MLB team in 1871 as a charter member of the National Association. They were known then as the Chicago White Stockings.
The Chicago Colts was the name of the team from 1890 - 1897. They became the Chicago Orphans in 1898 and it wasn't until 1902 that the team became the Chicago Cubs.

Yes ... the Cubs began play in 1870 as the White Stockings. They changed their name to the Colts in 1890, Orphans in 1898, and Cubs in 1903.
They began life in 1898 as the Chicago Orphans. I know they changed that to another name before they became known as the Chicago White Stockings.
It was around 1933 or shortly thereafter that Reagan became an announcer for the Chicago Cubs.
They were originally named "The Chicago White Stockings" in the late 19th century, and their name changed from "White Stockings" to "Colts," to "Orphans" to eventually, "Cubs." The name was chosen from a naming contest in the newspaper.
