The trade was not popular with many Cub fans and may have cost the Cubs the pennant. Cub's Gabby Hartnett, player-manager from 1938 to 1940, said "That trade hurt us. It probably cost us the pennant in '37." Without Warneke the Cubs finished 93–61, in second place, three games behind the New York Giants. Meanwhile, Warneke led the Cardinals staff with an 18–11 record. Parmelee went 7–8 for the Cubs and was sold the following year;

Cardinals–Cubs rivalry The Cardinals–Cubs rivalry, also called the Route 66 rivalry and The Downstate Illinois rivalry, refers to the rivalry between the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs both of the National League (NL), one of the most bitter rivalries in Major League Baseball and in all of North American professional sports. The Cubs lead the regular season series 1,230–1,171, with 19 ties, through September 2018, while the Cardinals are third in NL pennants with 19, to the Cubs' 17. However, the Cardinals have a clear edge when it comes to World Series success, having won 11 championships to the
