Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Charles John Grimm, nicknamed "Jolly Cholly", was a first baseman and manager in Major League Baseball best known for his years with the Chicago Cubs; he was also a sometime radio broadcaster, and a popular goodwill ambassador for baseball. He played for the Pittsburgh Pirates early in his career, but was traded to the Cubs in 1925 and worked mostly for the Cubs for the rest of his career. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Grimm was known for being outgoing and chatty, even singing old-fashioned songs while accompanying himself on the banjo. As a manager for the Cubs, he led the team to National League championships in 1932, 1935 and 1945. He also served as the Cubs' Director of Player Personnel, then the club's title for general manager, from his resignation as field manager in mid-1949 through early 1950. However, Grimm was not comfortable in his front-office post and resigned in February 1950 to manage a Double A team, the Dallas Eagles of the Texas League
