1909 Chicago Cubs Roster

The 1909 Chicago Cubs team roster seen on this page includes every player who appeared in a game during the 1909 season. It is a comprehensive team roster and player names are sorted by the fielding position where the most number of games were played during the regular season.

These team rosters are presented only when and where the data is available.

"For his part, (Joe) Tinker was far from a natural. But during a 15-year career, from 1902 through 1916, he saved his teams an astonishing 203 fielding runs. He deserves his immortality." - Total Baseball (1997)
